Cooper was torn. Leaving meant missing his children’s lives forever. But staying meant they had no future. Promising Murph he would return, he piloted the Endurance into the wormhole, alongside a team: the professor’s brilliant daughter, Amelia; two scientists, Romilly and Doyle; and two robotic companions, TARS and CASE.
To save Murph, to give her the quantum data needed to solve gravity, he had to go into the black hole. He knew it was a one-way trip. He and TARS detached, sacrificing themselves, using a gravity assist to hurl Amelia toward Edmund’s planet. As Cooper fell into the abyss, he watched the universe compress into a single, brilliant smear of light. He expected death. He found a library.
Cooper had no place in this future. His daughter told him to go. "No parent should have to watch their own child die," she said. "Go find Amelia."
Their first stop was Miller’s Planet, a water world skimming the edge of Gargantua. The gravity from the black hole was so immense that it warped time. For every hour they spent on the surface, seven years would pass on Earth. It was a trap. The "thumbs up" signal was just the wreckage of a crashed lander. A monstrous tidal wave, a wall of water the size of a mountain, smashed into them. Doyle was killed instantly. By the time Cooper and Amelia escaped back to the Endurance , soaking wet and defeated, 23 years had passed.
Decades earlier, a mysterious wormhole—a tear in the fabric of space-time—had appeared near Saturn. No one knew who placed it, but it was an invitation. Through that portal lay twelve potentially habitable worlds orbiting a supermassive black hole named Gargantua. Three of the worlds had sent back a "thumbs up" signal. The mission, Endurance , was to go through the wormhole, check those three planets, and find a new home for the human race.
There was a catch. Plan A was to solve the equation for gravity, allowing NASA to lift the giant space arks off the dying Earth. Plan B was to abandon Earth entirely, carrying 5,000 frozen human embryos to start a new colony on a new world. Professor Brand had lied to everyone. He knew Plan A was mathematically impossible without data from inside a black hole—data that could never be retrieved.
Cooper was one of them, a former NASA pilot turned corn farmer, raising his two children, Tom and Murph, in a world that had forgotten ambition. The past was a myth—they taught in schools that the Apollo missions were a hoax to bankrupt the Soviet Union. But Murph, a fiercely intelligent girl, believed in ghosts. Strange things kept happening in her room: books falling from shelves, a dust pattern on the floor that looked like a set of coordinates.
In the twilight of the 21st century, the Earth was dying. Not with fire, but with a cough. A blight had swept across every continent, consuming crops like a plague of locusts that never left. The sky was a permanent, dusty brown, and the only thing growing faster than the blight was human desperation. We had stopped looking to the stars. We were farmers now, just trying to survive one more harvest.
