Yet another sensational blockbuster by renowned director Christopher Nolan in depicting the future of mankind where space travel is necessary to preserve the remaining human race on a dying planet Earth.

In this film, the ingenious plot of showing the life of former NASA pilot Cooper played by Matthew McConaughey after the Earth is infected with a blight knowned as the Dust Bowl where crops are dying and thus, rendering the Earth inhabitable. The population of the human race is also greatly decreasing while the remaining dwellers will have to work on preserving life, known by the people as the care-taker generation.  One day, while going with his daily activities, Cooper came across an old NASA base where there he meets with NASA physicist, Professor Brand (Michael Caine) where he tells him that there is still hope for the people of Earth. Somehow somewhere, a wormhole or a rip in the space and time continuum is discovered where it will theoretically give the populace a second chance at life.

Hearing the sounds of hope, Cooper now lands in a difficult choice where he either choose to leave his children behind and embark on a probably one-way voyage into space or stay back on Earth and see his children suffer as the planet will most likely not survived the next generation. As a loving father, Cooper chose to save his children and also the fate of humanity by taking the risk of exploring deep space into a galaxy unknown in search for a habitable planet.

This film gives us many mind blowing theories about wormholes and the space-time continuum as given by theoretical physicist Kip Thorne. The on and off relationship between Cooper and his daughter also adds a mundane element to great sci-fi flick. This show is definitely worth a watch as it contains great story line as well as good line of casts. This film also won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
