Plot Summary :
The first scene of this series is interviews with elderly
people, who are talking about how the world used to be
compared to what it is now
The movie then goes back in time and introduces the main
character, Joe Cooper, and his family who are living and
working on a farm, although Cooper used to be a NASA test
pilot
We find out that the population of the world has been
reduced in half, due to lack of food and hunger
Technology is at a standstill and there are no more militaries
or war
Cooper's daughter, Murph, keeps talking about a ghost in her
room, which foreshadows events that occur later in the
movie
Joe’s father-in-law Donald (John Lithgow) watches as
his grandchildren grow up in a far worse world than he
did.
Cooper decides to look into this ghost Murph is talking
about, and believes that the "ghost" is sending signals
to them for some reason
He studies the "signals" and believes they
are coordinates on a map so he and his daughter drive
to it “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts…”
Cooper accidentally stumbles upon the new
NASA headquarters, where he ends up being told
about a space mission by his old colleague, Dr. Brand,
that could save the human population
He learns about a wormhole near Saturn, and
that 10 years prior, 12 astronauts traveled through it
to search for potentially habitable planets
3 of the astronauts sent the "thumbs-up" signal
for their planet, and the current mission is to send
more astronauts and gather more data about which
planet is the best They learn of the desperate Lazarus mission,
which hopes to find new worlds for the now
Cooper ends up piloting the spacecraft for the mission,
although his family wanted him to stay, as they thought he
was leaving them on Earth to die
Dr. Brand had 2 plans for the mission if Cooper is successful
in finding a habitable planet
Plan A would rescue a large amount of people on Earth by
bringing space stations near the wormhole, but Dr. Brand Grandpa Donald

A depressing future.
Due to the gravitational pull of a black hole on Miller's

With wasted time and only enough fuel to visit one
of the two remaining planets, they decide to visit
astronaut Mann's planet, because he was still

While on Mann's planet, Mann reveals to Cooper
the planet is uninhabitable and tries to kill him
and steal his spaceship so he can go back to Earth

equation, discovers that the gravity equation is impossible
