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.
Interstellar recap
Crops are failing and dust storms cover the Earth. Cooper, a former NASA pilot turned farmer, follows a pattern in the dust in his daughter Murph's room to a secret NASA base, where Professor Brand plans to save humanity through a wormhole near Saturn. Twelve scientists went through to scout three planets. Cooper pilots the Endurance with Brand's daughter Amelia, Romilly and Doyle, leaving a furious Murph behind. On the first planet, near the black hole Gargantua, a tidal wave kills Doyle, and the time dilation costs them twenty-three years. Back on Earth, the grown Murph learns that Brand's Plan A to lift humanity off Earth was never real. On the icy world of Dr. Mann, Mann has faked his data and tries to kill Cooper and steal the Endurance.
Interstellar ending explained
Cooper sends Amelia on to Edmunds' planet and drops into Gargantua, entering a tesseract built by future humans where he can see Murph's bedroom through time. He sends her the quantum data she needs as Morse code through her watch. Murph solves gravity and humanity leaves Earth. Cooper wakes up on a space station near Saturn, sees the elderly Murph one last time, and leaves to find Amelia.
