Interstellar Summary

           The movie is about Earth on the brink of dying out of sources and the human race trying to find another planet that is suitable for life. There is a large dust bowl that has swept through the earth, killing all the sources of food, except corn. Scientists have found a new way to keep an abundance of corn that will help the humans survive until a new planet is found. Also NASA has detected a worm hole not to far away from earth that will allow astronauts to do interstellar travel from the Milkey Way Galaxy to another galaxy many light years away. Cooper is in a citation for an opportunity to save the world, but has to leave his daughter in the process. In this other Galaxy, one hour is equivalent to seven earth year, so he has to hurry. Cooper and two other astronauts travel by space ship through the worm hole and come out the other side into a new galaxy where two suitable planets for life are. They land on a planet where it is filled with water that is a couple of feet high and collect samples from the planet. After, they dock on a space station where they figure out what has to happen next to return home and create a way for human life to keep going on. They have artificial eggs where they have stored on the vessel that preserves them to hatch at a later time and grow up as a new human civilization. After they head off to another planet and another astronaut turn on them by trying to infiltrate the space station, but fails by not being able to align the ship with the lock on mechanism. Part of the station is blown up in the process and the only solution to get back to earth is to lock back on to the spinning station exactly and launch the ship into a black hole. In the black hole Cooper experiences strange events where he is presented in front of him the past events in his life. He stops when he sees his daughter standing in her room going through old boxes. He tries to communicate, but can't because he is trapped behind the bookcase in her room in this dimension. He sees her holding up the watch he gave her before he left and communicates by Morris code by tapping on the books. The minute hand on the watch corresponds to the code and she notices this and soon realizes he is watching her and is still alive. Cooper finds his way back to earth in far later years and is only a little bit older while his daughter is on the brink of death on a hospital bed. This world is now distorted to a new dimension and he has to live through this from now on.
