James Cameron's "Titanic" is an epic, action-packed set against the
ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic, the pride and joy of the White Star
Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious
liner of her era -- the "ship of dreams" -- which ultimately carried over 1,500 people
to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April
15, 1912.
The journey of "Titanic" begins in the present, at the site of the ship's watery grave,
two-and-a-half miles under the ocean surface. An ambitious fortune hunter (Bill
Paxton) is determined to plumb the treasures of this once-stately ship, only to bring to
the surface a story left untold. The tragic ruins melt away to reveal the glittering palace
that was Titanic as it prepares to launch on its maiden voyage from England. Amidst
the thousands of well-wishers bidding a fond bon voyage, destiny has called two
young souls, daring them to nurture a passion that would change their lives forever.
Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is a 17-year-old, upper-class American
suffocating under the rigid confines and expectations of Edwardian society who falls
for a free-spirited young steerage passenger named Jack Dawson (Leonardo
DiCaprio). Once he opens her eyes to the world that lies outside her gilded cage,
Rose and Jack's forbidden love begins a powerful mystery that ultimately echoes
across the years into the present. Nothing on earth is going to come between them --
not even something as unimaginable as the sinking of Titanic.
