Plot

Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a former pilot and engineer who is now a farmer due to widespread hunger caused by blight, living with his father-in-law (John Lithgow), teenage son Tom, and 10-year-old daughter Murphy, or "Murph." While Tom has shown the aptitude and interest to be a successful farmer, which is the vocation of choice for most people as food is incredibly scarce, Murph is more of an adventurous spirit like her father. She is investigating a "ghost" that causes items to fall off the shelves in her room, and following a malfunction of some heavy machinery, Cooper interprets this instead as gravity. He discovers a set of coordinates written in binary, and follows them to a hidden NASA base.

Cooper and Murphy meet with Cooper's old mentor, Dr. Brand (Michael Caine) and his daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway), also a scientist at the facility. They explain that a several gravitational anomalies (similar to Murphy's ghost) have occurred in recent years, the largest manifested as a wormhole near Saturn. A decade previously, a team known as the Lazarus mission was sent through the wormhole to find candidate planets for humans to live on. Brand has two plans: A, where the NASA facility itself lifts off and travels to the new planet with many people in tow, or B, where frozen fertilized eggs are used by a second mission to start a new colony. Data transmitted through the wormhole by the Lazarus team indicates at least three likely planets.

Cooper is recruited to join the second mission, against the wishes of Murph. She begs him not to go, even saying that the "ghost" is using the bookshelf to spell out "stay." Nonetheless, Cooper opts to take the mission and attempt to save humanity; before he goes, he gives Murph one of a matched set of watches, keeping the other for himself and explaining that due to general relatively, she may age faster than he does, but promises he will come back. Joining Cooper are Amelia, Romilly (David Gyasi), Doyle (Wes Bentley), and the robot TARS (Bill Irwin). They successfully dock with the Endurance, an orbiting space station, join CASE, a second robot, and begin the two year trip to Jupiter and the wormhole.
