Former NASA pilot Cooper is recruited for a secret mission to find a new planet for humanity through a wormhole near Saturn. He leaves his family behind to travel with a crew on the spaceship Endurance to potentially habitable planets near a black hole. Though one crew member is lost, they discover the planets are uninhabitable. Cooper sacrifices himself to enter the black hole and transmit data to help his daughter Murph solve an equation to help evacuate Earth. Emerging in the future, Cooper is rescued and reunited with Murph, now elderly. Humanity has survived on a new world, and Cooper's mission is complete.
