Plot Summary

In the near future, humanity faces extinction due to dust storms and widespread crop blights. Joseph Cooper, a widowed former NASA test pilot, works as a farmer and raises his children, Murph and Tom, alongside his father-in-law Donald. Cooper is reprimanded by Murph’s teachers for telling her that the Apollo missions were not fabricated. During a dust storm, the two discover that dust patterns in Murph’s room, which she had first attributed to a ghost, result from a gravitational anomaly. They translate them into geographic coordinates, which lead them to a secret NASA facility headed by Professor John Brand.

He explains that 48 years earlier, a wormhole appeared near Saturn, leading to a system in another galaxy with 12 potentially habitable planets located near a black hole named Gargantua. Volunteers of the Lazarus expedition had previously traveled through the wormhole to evaluate the planets, with three — Miller, Edmunds, and Mann — reporting back desirable results. Cooper is enlisted to pilot the Endurance spacecraft through the wormhole as part of a mission to colonize a habitable planet with 5000 frozen embryos and ensure humanity’s survival. Meanwhile, Professor Brand would continue his work on solving a gravity equation whose solution would supposedly enable construction of a spacecraft for an exodus from Earth.

Cooper accepts against Murph’s wishes and promises to return. When she refuses to see him off, he leaves her his wristwatch to compare their relative time when he returns. The crew, consisting of Cooper, robots TARS and CASE, and scientists Dr. Amelia Brand, Romilly, and Doyle, traverse the wormhole after a two-year voyage to Saturn. Cooper, Doyle, and Brand use a lander to investigate Miller’s planet, where time is severely dilated. After landing in knee-high water and finding only wreckage from Miller’s expedition, a gigantic tidal wave kills Doyle and waterlogs the lander’s engines.
