Titanic is a 1997 American romance film directed, written, produced and edited by James Cameron about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater, two members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ill-fated 1912 maiden voyage of the ship. The main characters and the central love story are fictional, but some supporting characters (such as members of the ship's crew) are based on real historical figures. Gloria Stuart plays the elderly Rose, who narrates the film in a modern day framing device.
Production of the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the real wreck of the RMS Titanic. He envisioned the love story as a means to engage the audience with the real life tragedy. Shooting took place at the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh for the modern scenes, and a reconstruction of the ship was built at Playas de Rosarito. Cameron also used scale models and computer-generated imagery to recreate the sinking of the ship. Titanic became the most expensive film yet made in unadjusted dollars, costing approximately US$200 million with funding from Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox.
Originally slated to be released on July 2, 1997, post-production delays pushed back the film's release date to December 19, 1997. After word broke out that Titanic's release date was pushed back, the press believed that Titanic would fail, causing the downfall of Fox and Paramount. Despite low expectations, the film was both a critical and commercial success, tying with All About Eve for the most Academy Award nominations, at 14. The film won 11, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, and became the highest grossing film of all time, with a total worldwide gross of approximately $1.8 billion.
Titanic is a 1953 drama film directed by Jean Negulesco. The film is not to be confused with the other movies with the same title. Its plot, like in the 1997 movie, is centered around the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, which took place in April 1912.

Everyone thought the RMS Titanic was the safest ship in the world - a leading shipbuilding journal proclaimed it 'unsinkable' because of its watertight compartment design. On its first trip from England to New York City, it collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. The much-publicized 'unsinkable' watertight compartment design was never designed to cope with such extensive damage, and the 'unsinkable' ship starts to go down. Even worse, more than half the 2200+ passengers & crew on board are already doomed, as the Titanic is only carrying lifeboats for about 1200. This is the frightening story of the passengers & crew's struggles to stay alive. Who will escape the Titanic before it goes nearly 2 miles to the ocean bottom, and survive the panic as well as the 28-degree water? Written by Derek O'Cain
