interstellar movie science question. (spoiler)?
In the movie interstellar they travel near a super-massive black hole's accretion disk. Wouldn't the radiation there be astronomical? what would that kind of radiation do to a person in real life?

If this scenario were to be played out, I would take into account the advancement of technology of the time. Surely the person will die from falling into a black hole.
But as for the perspective of the person falling in, it will seem that he just passed right through it.
Therefore, it is almost like the person experiences an illusion of being alive while a spectator would see the person disintegrate. The person would be reduced to electrons and plastered on the event horizon. It is almost like the person is both dead and alive.

Indeed lots of radiation would be expected. But a planet's atmosphere would provide some shielding, as would the spaceship structures.

Don't try to find scientific accuracies in Hollywood movies. There haven't been any since Space Odyssey 2001.

There is only radiation if there is mass actively falling in at the time.
In reality (not a film) nothing may cross the event horizon - everything arrests in time at the event horizon.

As far as we know...there is not any dangerous radiation around a black hole? Why would you think there would be? .
