The movie director has been broadly interested in the Indian philosophy, and thus, this paper analyzes Nolan’s approach to portray it into his movie, Interstellar in the way that ties Buddhism with quantum physics. In this paper, the Buddhist thoughts of Karma and Dharmachakra, in particular, have been employed to depict the plot structure of the movie. In addition, the string theory, which is the study of dimension, and the hypothesis of the absolute being or the living existence in a different dimension from the place where the humanity has been living at present.
