TARS robot and space shuttle models from Interstellar on display...

In Christopher Nolan's 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey ventured through time and space to save humanity on a dying Earth in the future. The crew of scientists and astronauts searching for a new world to colonise were assisted by monolith-like robots, TARS and CASE, which were actually 200 pound puppets that could be moved by actors like Bill Irwin during filming. Personally I thought they were the most original idea for a robot I'd seen in many years, in their design and how they moved (made possible also with the help of special visual effects).

This TARS robot prop and spaceship lander craft models (used for exploring planets suitable for human habitation) were photographed on display at Warner Bros. Studios Backlot Tour on June 9, 2016.

Fans of the movie can also check out Anne Hathaway's astronaut suit and more Interstellar props on display.

UPDATED: I saw this post was trending and thought I'd add some photos of the TARS robot from Interstellar I captured on display at the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum on October 13, 2025.

The museum also had the Ranger and Lander spacecraft scale models used during production on display, so enjoy.
