Fans have spotted a harrowing detail in Interstellar 10 years later.
This has come to light as the film has returned to the big screen for a limited re-release.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, the blockbuster follows two characters played by Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as they embark on a space mission.

The film won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects and gained a lot of positive reviews after its release in 2014.
One crucial part of the plot takes place where the astronauts journey to Miller’s planet, where just an hour spent on its surface is the equivalent of seven years on Earth.
This is due to a ‘time dilation’ and in one scene, McConaughey’s character sees his children grow up through video messages that are sent to the spacecraft from lightyears away.
Now, fans have figured out that only one hour and 25 minutes would have passed on Miller’s planet since the movie was first released a decade ago.
Taking to social media, one user shared on Reddit: “That’s so insane, the entire story of Miller's planet is just so horrific and terrifying.
“The sky high waves. The time dilation. That planet was never meant for humans. Terrifying.”
Another said: “There's no way people on Miller's planet have even watched Interstellar's 2:49 [hour:minute] runtime.”
And a third person suggested that July 14 2034, should be turned into a special Interstellar fan holiday.
This is because ‘enough time will have elapsed (since the release of the movie) to watch the entirety of Interstellar on Miller's Planet’.
However, one TikToker pointed out a glaring error that he can’t ignore.
Posting on his page, @stark_verse, the individual explained that there are two scenes that are carbon copies.
In the clip which has now been watched by over eight million people, he said: “I just re-watched Interstellar, and I noticed what seemed like a mistake. I just cannot unsee this.”
The scenes in question are a specific shot of Cooper’s aircraft right before he crashes in his dream and then again when the team enters Miller’s planet’s atmosphere.
The man added: “At first I thought this was a mistake, but then I realized, this is Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan wouldn’t reuse the same footage without a purpose.”
This caused him to dig deeper into what it could mean.
He realized that he was looking at the scene from a different perspective than it should be regarded, and that the opening sequence where the initial shot is used depicts a crash that nobody ‘should realistically survive’, possibly meaning that no one actually did survive the crash.
