Explained simply
Interstellar is a science-fiction film released in 2014 and directed by Christopher Nolan. It follows Cooper, a former pilot who joins a space mission to search for a place where people can live as Earth faces worsening environmental problems.
The mission involves Dr Brand, a scientist, and two robots, TARS and CASE. The film combines space travel with questions about family, survival and the future of humanity, and has built a following among viewers and critics.
LEGO Ideas is a programme where fans submit designs for possible sets; projects that receive enough support can be reviewed by LEGO for production. The approved design draws on the film’s spacecraft and characters, while other fan projects can remain under review.
