Titanic

TITANIC, James Cameron's massive blockbuster, stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as young lovers aboard the ill-fated voyage. A mysterious nude sketch found in the wreckage of the Titanic leads to the tale of its subject, the now-elderly Rose DeWitt Bukater (Winslet). As her story begins, Rose is 17 and vacationing aboard the "unsinkable" ship with her unctuous, moneyed fiance (Billy Zane). However, she soon falls for Jack Dawson (DiCaprio), a free-spirited artist and third-class passenger. Their romance moves quickly--until the huge luxury liner slams into an iceberg. Soon Rose, Jack, and everyone onboard the sinking ship are all struggling to stay alive.
TITANIC had the potential to be the biggest bomb in film history, but, as everyone knows, the movie became the highest-grossing motion picture ever and a worldwide phenomenon. Perhaps it's the spectacular special effects or the chemistry of its attractive stars or the romantic heart of the story. Regardless of what makes it work, the film is big budget entertainment with an undeniable appeal for just about anyone.
