WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the future, Earth’s resources are starting to prove unstable for its human inhabitants, and it looks as though the planet is doomed. However, when a wormhole that connects widely-separated parts of time and space is discovered, a group of explorers and scientists is sent to evaluate it and see if it can lead to a new home for humanity. One member of the group, widowed engineer Cooper (McConaughey), is forced to leave his family behind if he is to join the intergalactic expedition to save humanity…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Christopher Nolan returns to original filmmaking with a powerful and mind-boggling tale of space exploration and the many wonders that the universe can reveal to us as mere specks in the grander scheme of things.
