A series of catastrophic crop blights has made farming increasingly difficult and threatens humanitys survival. Cooper, a widowed former NASA pilot with an engineering background, runs a farm with his fatherinlaw, son, and daughter Murphy, who believes her bedroom is haunted by a poltergeist. When a pattern is created out of dust on the floor, Cooper realizes there is no ghost, only someone trying to communicate using gravity. He interprets the pattern as a message formed into binary code, which when translated provides a set of geographic coordinates, which Cooper and Murphy follow to a secret NASA facility. There, they are met by Dr. Brand, Coopers former professor.Brand reveals that a wormhole, apparently created by an alien intelligence, appeared near Saturn 48 years before, leading to a distant galaxy, with numerous potentially habitable planets. Twelve volunteers have gone through it, knowing they may never be able to return, each to assess a planets suitability as humanitys new home. Miller, Edmunds and Mann have sent encouraging data from planets near Gargantua, a supermassive black hole. Brand recruits Cooper to pilot the spaceship Endurance to evaluate as many of the planets as possible, while he works on Plan A, a theory to harness gravity for propulsion, which would allow humanity to leave Earth. The Endurance also carries 5,000 frozen embryos as Plan B, to provide for humanitys survival. Cooper agrees to go, upsetting Murphy. ........
