help Interstellar (2014) FAQ
Why does Cooper leave Earth in Interstellar?
Crop failures and dust storms are making Earth progressively less capable of supporting humanity. Cooper joins Professor Brand's NASA mission through a wormhole near Saturn to evaluate possible new homes for the species.
Why does time pass differently on Miller's planet?
Miller's planet orbits extremely close to the black hole Gargantua, so intense gravity causes severe time dilation. Roughly one hour on the planet corresponds to seven years for people farther away.
Did Interstellar use real scientific advice for Gargantua?
Physicist Kip Thorne served as an executive producer and scientific consultant on Christopher Nolan's film. The visual-effects team at Double Negative used equations based on general relativity to construct the black hole's appearance.
Who composed the organ-heavy score for Interstellar?
Hans Zimmer composed the score, which prominently uses the organ at London's Temple Church. Nolan initially gave Zimmer a personal story prompt rather than a conventional science-fiction brief, helping produce the film's intimate musical character.
