NASA calls upon him for an extraordinary assignment: to guide a team in search of a livable planet beyond our galaxy. Despite his daughter’s protests, he embarks on what seems like a one-way journey.

In outer space, Cooper encounters the unexpected, causing the mission to partly falter. As time passes, he watches his daughter Murph grow up. Her disapproval towards him intensifies as he repeatedly failed to keep his promise of returning home. However, this perilous journey through a black hole eventually paves the way for humanity’s exploration of uncharted territories. It goes without saying that things become strangely fascinating and captivating.

The outcome was “Interstellar,” a breathtaking voyage that served as Christopher Nolan’s homage to his inspirations – Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and Andrei Tarkovsky. Ever the visionary, Nolan also aimed to ensure authenticity in every aspect of the production.
