2067. An environmental crisis and a devastating crop-killing drought force humanity to look to the stars for a new home. Recruited by NASA for a top-secret mission beyond the stars, Joseph Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) – loving father to Murph (Mackenzie Foy) and the more distant Tom (Timothée Chalamet) – heads up a critical interstellar expedition through a wormhole.
Arriving at the destination of three planets orbiting the black hole ‘Gargantua’, Coop discovers that the clock is quickly ticking for the future of the human race, as time dilation means that one hour spent on the new hope planet is 23 years back on Earth.
A staggering achievement in science-fiction cinema, Interstellar is an emotionally resonant, cosmic father-daughter story (with the older Murph played by the remarkable Jessica Chastain), and a stunning showcase of the great Christopher Nolan at his most expansive and contemplative.
