Sometime in the approaching future, a former astronaut turned farmer due to the food shortage is sent a message to transport him through a wormhole near Saturn that leads the path towards possibly saving the human race. 
Scientific gobbledygook by Nolan, his more human-centric take on 2001: A Space Odyssey with a strong cast and an intriguing premise. but with melodramatics and unnecessary plot twists getting in the way, followed by the familiar climatic bout of noise, music and sound effects to smother over the cracks in the plot.
