Interstellar opens on Earth in the distant future, as Mother Nature is waging war on humanity. Famine is widespread, and all of mankind's resources are now dedicated to farming in a desperate fight for survival. A former NASA pilot and engineer named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) has become a homesteader in order to support his teenage son Tom (Timothee Chalamet) and 10-year-old daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy). Unfortunately, even that begins to look like a futile endeavor after a sandstorm ravages their close-knit community. Meanwhile, a seemingly supernatural mystery begins to unfold when the InchghostInch that dwells in Murph's room sends her a mysterious set of coordinates - which lead the curious father/daughter duo to a clandestine underground base housing the remnants of NASA. There, renowned physicist Professor Brand (Michael Caine) has been working with a team of astronauts and scientists to find a new planet capable of sustaining human life. Brand quickly persuades Cooper to pilot a mission that will hopefully carry the seeds of human life to a habitable planet in another galaxy. Cooper is soon bound for space with Brand's daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway) and researchers Doyle (Wes Bentley) and Romilly (David Gyasi).

With the world overtaken by a horrific plague, Paul (Joel Edgerton) has done his best to make his backwoods home a sealed-off safe haven for wife Sarah (Carmen Ejogo) and teenaged son Travis (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.). When their isolation is broken by the arrival of foraging couple Will (Christopher Abbott) and Kim (Riley Keough) and their little son, they offer the younger family shelter... but the inevitable rise of tension and paranoia in the closed quarters might doom them all, in writer/director Trey Edward Shult's understated chiller. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
