An Einstein-Rosen bridge, colloquially known as a wormhole, is a distortion of spacetime that in theory may allow near-instantaneous transit to anywhere in the universe. It takes its name from physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen, who are credited with developing the theory of wormholes. In the film, A wormhole represents the key to humankind's survival by enabling crews of the Lazarus Project and later the Endurance to travel light years away to a system of planets around Gargantua in another galaxy containing potentially habitable worlds.

The Blight is a plague that has devastated almost all the remaining food sources on Earth.

By the time Interstellar occurs, the last crops of okra are dying off, leaving just corn as the only viable food source for humanity. This wiil be the main reason why humanity is forced to leave their own planet and the Endurance spaceship was created.

He's born in Denver and he grows up during food riots and famine.

He will have two children, Tom and Murph.
Murph will be born in 28 June 2056 and she will be more relevant to this film, because she is very close to her dad and she shares with him his affinity with space and science.

He will be a test pilot for NASA.
His Ranger will crash when crossing the Straits, so he will be forced to retire.

NASA, in secret, launches 12 missions through the wormhole. Each landing pod had sufficient life support for two years, but with hypersleep chambers (which are used to slow the aging process of the human body), the astronauts could extend their observations over a decade or more.

Their mission was to assess their world and send reports back to Earth via a binary pings on an annual basis, giving a clue of which planet would be suitable for human colonization. When introduced to the mission, Cooper confirms that it would be impossible to rescue all twelve astronauts due to NASA's limited resources.

Of the twelve astronauts sent, three potentially habitable worlds were found: Miller's planet (a water world), Edmunds' planet (a desert world) and Mann's planet (an ice world).
They were named after the doctor who landed on the planet.

The world continues to suffer from the blight, catastrophic famine and immense dust storms.

Cooper is asked to rejoin NASA, and he boards Endurance (a space exploration vehicle), launched towards Saturn (Hypersleep for 2 years to Saturn).

The Endurance travels through the wormhole exiting on a system in orbit of Gargantua: it is a very massive, rapidly spinning black hole. It is orbited by the planets Miller and Mann. 

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, light included, can escape from it.

Cooper decided to land on Miller's planet, also called the water world. In this planet every hour will be seven years to the outside world due to time dilation. They will spend 3 hours (on the planet) but the rescue mission on the water world fails due to large waves.

When he returns to Endurance he finds out that 23 years had passed since he left for Miller's planet. Cooper catches up on a cache of 23 years worth of video messages from the earth. According to many fans of the film, this scene was one of the most touching scenes in cinema.

Cooper begins slingshot around Gargantua. 

At the same time on earth, Murph and Professor Brand works with NASA. Professor Brand confesses that his gravity equation could not be solved, leaving no possibility to save people on Earth. Even if Murph feels devastated and betrayed by this statement, she remains determined to solve Brand's equation.

Cooper decided to try and explore another planet: Mann's planet (ice world).
This planet has been visited first by the astronaut Mann years before, in fact it was named after him. 

When the Cooper arrives, he founds out that the planet in unhabitable.

- Murph solves the gravity equation, which allows the stations to be launched from earth’s surface and into space. Cooper Station (named after Murph) is launched from Earth and placed in orbit of various planets in-system. Missions are being prepared to rescue surviving Lazarus astronauts and to explore other star systems through the wormhole.

 - Cooper fall into the black hole. TARS (one of four former U.S. Marine Corps tactical robots) studies the singularity of quantum data and collects them. Cooper enters the Tesseract's 5th dimensional space to relay the data to Murph. 
The Tesseract is an enormous, hyper-cubic, grid-like structure and a means of communication for the bulk beings (sentient beings able to perceive higher dimensions) to express action through gravity with NASA.
The bulk beings can perceive five dimensions as opposed to four, able to see every moment in the past, present, and future. The bulk beings can influence gravity within any of those time frames.

- In 2154 Murph enters hypersleep at a station orbiting Earth. Two years later Cooper was found and recovered near Saturn. Murph is awoken and she arrives at Cooper Station two weeks later when she finally meets his father.

During the 2160s people living in Cooper Station travel across the wormhole to Edmunds' planet. First colony is established. Other stations follow suit.
This is only the beggining!

In fact years later Edmunds colony supports a population of thousands due to Plan A.
