An elderly woman's memory becomes the way into one of the most retold ocean crossings in film. Titanic, directed by James Cameron, opens with a 101-year-old Rose recalling a voyage that began 84 years earlier.
What is Titanic about?
In April 1912, young Rose DeWitt Bukater boards the Titanic with her mother, Ruth, and her fiance, Caledon Hockley, traveling among the ship's wealthiest passengers. Also aboard, having won third-class tickets in a card game, are Jack Dawson, a drifter and artist, and his friend Fabrizio De Rossi. Rose and Jack meet early in the crossing and grow close over the following days, even as the gap between their two worlds on the ship keeps pulling at them. Decades later, aboard the research vessel Keldysh, the elderly Rose retells the entire voyage to her granddaughter and a small crew searching the wreck, carrying the story from the ship's departure through its final hours on its first and only voyage.
About the cast
Kate Winslet plays Rose, and Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jack, the two passengers at the center of the story. Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Bill Paxton and Bernard Hill complete a cast spanning both the ship's first-class decks and its lower decks below.
