Titanic

DramaRomance194 min

A century after the disaster, elderly Rose DeWitt Bukater (Gloria Stuart) tells the story of her time aboard the Titanic. In 1912, young Rose — Kate Winslet’s wealthy, tightly controlled socialite — boards the ship with her mother and fiancé, while Leonardo DiCaprio is Jack Dawson, a penniless passenger who wins his third-class ticket in a card game. Their connection crosses the strict lines between first class and steerage as the liner begins its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. James Cameron frames the romance against the ship’s lavish interiors, crowded decks, and the mounting panic after the collision with the iceberg.
