Earth is dying and low on natural resources, causing humanity to be on the brink of extinction. Cooper ends up selected to fly a mission through a wormhole to survey three planets that have been identified as potential habitats for humanity to escape to. The first planetary visit they make ends in a disaster. On the second planet, Dr. Mann, who had scouted the planet and indicated that it was inhabitable, had lied to survive. He tries to escape but gets himself killed in the process. Cooper ends up ejecting himself and robot TARS into the black hole they had been orbiting to save the last remaining scientist, Dr. Brand. Upon entering the black hole, Cooper finds himself in a tesseract that allows TARS to send the quantum data needed to propel humanity to safety in the NASA space station. In the end, Cooper awakens in the space station, and humanity is saved. C
