# List of accolades received by Interstellar

Interstellar is a 2014 epic and science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan, who wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan. Christopher Nolan also produced the film with Emma Thomas, under their label Syncopy, and Lynda Obst Productions. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, and Matt Damon. Set in a dystopian future where humanity is embroiled in a catastrophic blight and famine, the film follows a group of astronauts who travel through a wormhole near Saturn in search of a new home for mankind.
Interstellar premiered in the United States on October 26, 2014 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, and in Europe on October 29 at the Odeon Leicester Square in London. The film had a limited release in IMAX theatres across North America on November 5, with a wide release on November 7. It was released in most countries on November 6 and 7, and in additional territories over the following month. Produced on a budget of $165 million, Interstellar grossed $681 million worldwide, concluding its original theatrical run as the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2014. Subsequent re-releases have increased its total gross to $759 million. The film was positively reviewed by critics and was praised for its scientific accuracy, particularly the depiction of the black hole Gargantua, but received some criticism for the ice clouds on Mann's planet. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 73% based on 379 reviews.
