Interstellar (2014) changed the science fiction game. Beyond the never-before-seen specific effects, it was the screenplay by Jonathan and Christopher Nolan that helped make it such an outstanding movie. Interstellar is a complex and highly imaginative story that does require some explanation, especially the Interstellar ending, which is why we’re here. This is the Interstellar Ending Explained with the help of Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat Beat sheet.

In order to completely grasp the impact and depth of the Interstellar ending, we have to go back to the beginning. We find Cooper, our protagonist, and his precocious daughter, Murph experiencing some strange phenomena, which she thinks of as “her ghost.” Meanwhile, the Earth is experiencing a devastating global environmental crisis and NASA enlists Cooper to lead a mission to find a new home planet.

Cooper and the Endurance crew literally go interstellar in hopes of finding salvation with the thematic conflict of Interstellar posed: will Cooper’s faith in science alone be enough to save the human race, or will he have to expand his beliefs to embrace the unknown?

Blake Snyder’s groundbreaking Save the Cat beat sheet is a system that maps out a complete character arc. We’ve seen plenty of sci-fi “men on a mission” stories before but there’s something about Interstellar that feels entirely different. There are a lot of story beats in Interstellar that match traditional story structure but the way Jonathan and Christopher Nolan are able to weave themes of love and sacrifice within a story full of scientific theory is nothing short of amazing. With the Interstellar ending explained, we can see just how layered and powerful the entire screenplay is, starting on page one.
