Synopsis
Interstellar is a 2014 science fiction drama and adventure film directed by Christopher Nolan. It is set in a near future where the planet is becoming harder and harder to live on.
Matthew McConaughey plays Joseph Cooper, a former pilot who now works as a farmer, raising his children as crops fail and dust spreads across the land. His daughter Murphy, nicknamed Murph, is played by Jessica Chastain as an adult. Cooper's curiosity is stirred by unexplained signs that lead him to a hidden facility. There he meets Professor John Brand, played by Michael Caine, who is leading a quiet effort to find humanity a new home beyond Earth.
Cooper is asked to pilot a mission that will travel through a passage near Saturn to distant star systems, where possible worlds may be waiting. He would be gone for a very long time, and leaving his family is a painful choice. He joins the scientist Amelia Brand, played by Anne Hathaway, along with a small crew and a robot called TARS, voiced and performed by Bill Irwin. The first part of the film is about that decision and the departure.
