A quintessential sequence exemplifies this: as Cooper and his team land on a treacherous planet, a monumental wave and the relentless march of time encapsulate the story's escalating peril.

The scene's emotional impact is amplified through a meticulously crafted soundscape—composed by Hans Zimmer—featuring a ticking clock that subliminally signifies the passing of days and the urgency of their mission.
