A single hour on the planet equals more than seven years on the space station (and back on Earth) due to Gargantua's huge gravitational pull. They choose Miller’s planet, the closest of the three, which orbits a massive black hole named Gargantua. There are three astronauts-Miller, Edmunds, and Mann-on three separate planets. After traveling through it, they are able to collect the data from the Lazarus missions to determine which planet they should navigate toward. Amelia Brand, Romilly, Doyle, and the two military robots CASE and TARS begin their nearly two-year journey on the space station Endurance towards the wormhole. He gifts her a watch to remember him by and leaves anyway, promising that he will return but knowing that in fact he may not. Heartbroken, Murph tries to convince him to stay, saying she's decrypted the message her "ghost" left her using the books that fell off her bookshelf, and that it says “STAY” in Morse code. Professor Brand believes that Cooper was chosen by the unknown species to embark on the next leg of these missions since they placed the gravitational anomaly in his home, just as they placed the wormhole in space.Ĭooper decides to go. If he fails to solve said equation, Plan B is to leave the current Earth population behind and colonize the new planet with embryos in cryostasis. The next phase of the mission is to go back through the wormhole and find out which planets are habitable so that they might fulfill one or both of Professor Brand’s plans for saving humanity: Plan A is to solve a difficult gravitational equation and use it to transport humans off the earth by means of a massive space station that will take them to their new planet. The Lazarus missions have already been sent into the wormhole ten years prior to land on each planet and collect data. NASA has found a wormhole near Saturn, placed there by an unknown species referred to as "they" or "them," that allows spacecraft to travel to faraway galaxies containing potential habitable new worlds for the human race. After refusing the government’s order to drop bombs on innocent civilians as a means of population control, NASA has been reinstated in secret, as public opinion is that space exploration during such times of food scarcity is a waste of money. They also meet Doyle and Romilly, two astronauts within the space program. Cooper wakes up to find that he and Murph are in a top-secret NASA facility led by Professor John Brand and his daughter, Dr. They arrive at an unmarked gated facility where they're greeted by a hostile military robot named TARS who knocks Cooper unconscious. He sets off in his truck to find out where they lead, and Murph stows away with him. Cooper translates the binary code to reveal a set of coordinates. Soon after, a sandstorm sweeps through their farm and through Murph’s open bedroom window, leaving Cooper to ponder what is left behind: binary code spelled out by the dust on the floor as it meets a strange gravitational anomaly. Cooper tells her that ghosts aren’t real and that she must use science to figure out what is actually happening. Books have been falling off her shelf and she believes the ghost is speaking to her. Murph has been visited by what she calls a “ghost” in her bedroom. They live together with the kids’ maternal grandfather, Donald. He's now a farmer with two kids, Tom and Murphy (referred to throughout the film as Murph). The government has done away with the military, and schools use standardized testing to determine whether a child will go down one of two paths: to college, or to work as farmers to fight food scarcity.Ĭooper, our protagonist, is a widower and former NASA pilot whose wife died of a brain cyst that was not found because MRI machines are no longer made (in order to cut down on the “wastefulness” of the 20th century). Crops are going extinct, and dust storms occur with alarming frequency. Some time in the late 21st century, Earth’s food supply is running out.
