In April 1912, the largest ship afloat leaves Southampton on its maiden voyage. Aboard are a young woman trapped in an engagement of convenience and a penniless artist who has talked his way onto the passenger list. A lavish romance and a precise reconstruction of a real event, told on a very large scale.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of 1990s blockbuster filmmaking. It showed that digital effects could serve a classical romantic epic, and it set a commercial benchmark that stood for twelve years.
Watch with intention
Watch how Cameron treats the ship as a social map, where every deck, door and staircase defines who people are allowed to be.
