Interstellar (2014)
Wednesday 18th March 2015
Nominated for five Academy Awards and winner for Best Visual Effects, hailed as the most exhilarating film this century, director Christopher Nolan's Interstellar makes its highly anticipated debut on Blu-ray and DVD on 30th March 2015, courtesy of Warner Home Video.
On a resource-depleted Earth in the near future, the discovery of a wormhole which can transport users through time and space unites scientists and explorers in the most important mission in human history. Among the potential travellers is a widowed engineer (Matthew McConaughey) who must decide whether to remain with his two children or to test the limits of human space travel, to see if there is a future for humanity out among the stars or whether the end of the Earth spells the end for humanity.
Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer returns to partner Nolan and score the film. The cast members include Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and Anne Hathaway.
