Titanic (1997) is an epic romance and disaster film directed by James Cameron. It is one of the highest-grossing films of all time and won numerous awards, including 11 Academy Awards, making it a landmark in cinematic history.
The story is set against the backdrop of the ill-fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. The film primarily follows two characters:
Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a penniless artist who wins a third-class ticket to board the Titanic.
Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), a young woman from a wealthy family who is being forced into an arranged marriage with the affluent but controlling Cal Hockley (Billy Zane).
As Jack and Rose meet on the ship, they develop a passionate romance that transcends their social classes. The film interweaves their love story with the historical events of the Titanic’s voyage, culminating in the tragic sinking of the ship.
