Christopher Nolan directs his brother Jonathan’s script for this sci-fi film surrounding inter-dimensional travel based on the theories of physicist Kip Thorne.
In the future, governments and economies across the globe have collapsed, food is scarce, NASA is no more, and the 20th Century is to blame. A mysterious rip in spacetime opens and it’s up to whatever is left of NASA to explore and offer up hope for mankind.
Interstellar chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage. Among the travellers is a widowed engineer who has to decide to leave behind his two children to join the voyage with the goal of saving humanity.
