Interstellar

Everything has its time, we're told in Ecclesiastes. And for planet Earth, it's time for death.

Not that you'd know it from a cursory glance. In fact, most folks hope the old girl is on the road to recovery decades after an environmental cataclysm wiped out most of the globe's food supply. Now, severely depopulated and humbled, we're getting back to the basics: growing food, maintaining shelter, spending time with family. A few of us might even take in a ball game on a lazy afternoon. But a nitrogen-eating blight is again cutting down crops, one by one. Wheat, rice, okra ... nothing survives the disease these days except corn, and that may not last much longer. Massive dust storms sweep across the land, choking out light and life alike. And even as people push through day by day, it seems society has lost something critical: it's desire to explore, to search for something better. "We used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars," former astronaut Cooper says. "Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt." And that place in the dirt for Coop means scraping together a living as a farmer instead of continuing his career as an astronaut. It means having to deal with his high-tech combines taking off in their directions instead of doing what he's programmed them to do. And listening to his 10-year-old daughter, Murphy, saying there's a ghost in her room. Then, when a dust storm blows through Murph's open window, it seems the grime has made strange patterns on the floor ... as if it—the dirt itself—was trying to tell them something. It is, actually. And Coop discovers the dusty lines are binary code that, when translated, become coordinates on a map. When he and Murph go there, they find a massive, secret science facility—perhaps humanity's last real hope. The scientists and engineers who work there, led by Coop's old NASA associate Dr. Brand, have found a mysterious wormhole near Saturn that leads to a new galaxy. They've already sent a dozen intrepid scientists through the hole and to some promising planets beyond, but they need another ship to now shoot through, retrieve data from the 12 and return home with it. And, Brand tells Coop, they could sure use a good pilot to fly the thing. If all goes well and the theory of relatively works as it ought, he could get back home in, oh, a few decades or so—looking no worse for wear and ready to save whatever's left of humanity. If not ... well, Coop should give Murph an extra-long hug goodbye.
