The premise for Interstellar was conceived by film producer Lynda Obst and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, who collaborated on the 1997 film Contact. Based on Thorne's work, the two conceived a scenario about "the most exotic events in the universe suddenly becoming accessible to humans".

Interstellar is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan, featuring a team of space travellers who travel through a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet. The purpose behind the voyage is an attempt to save humanity from an environmentally devastated Earth.



Director Christopher Nolan said influences on Interstellar included the "key touchstones" of science fiction cinema; Metropolis (1927), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Blade Runner (1982).
