Titanic (1997)
In the spring of 1912, the RMS Titanic, the largest and most luxurious ship ever built, sets sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The ship, hailed as “unsinkable,” carries a diverse array of passengers, from the wealthy elite to poor emigrants seeking a better life in America.
Among the passengers is Rose DeWitt Bukater, a young woman of high society, traveling with her domineering fiancé, Cal Hockley, and her mother. Though Rose is surrounded by luxury, she feels trapped in her engagement to Cal, a man she does not love. Desperate and suffocated by her rigid life, Rose contemplates suicide by leaping off the ship’s stern, but she is stopped by a third-class passenger, Jack Dawson, a free-spirited artist who won his ticket aboard in a poker game.
Jack’s act of heroism sparks an unlikely connection between him and Rose, despite the vast social gap between them. As the ship sails across the Atlantic, their bond deepens, and Rose begins to see life through Jack’s eyes — full of passion, adventure, and freedom. Jack teaches Rose to embrace her true self, unburdened by societal expectations, while Rose falls deeply in love with Jack’s sense of wonder and open heart.
Their romance, however, is not without obstacles. Cal, sensing Rose’s growing affection for Jack, becomes increasingly jealous and controlling. He hires his valet, Spicer Lovejoy, to keep a close watch on Rose and Jack, but the young lovers find moments of escape, sneaking through the ship’s grand hallways and even sharing a passionate moment in a car stored in the ship’s cargo hold.
As the Titanic sails into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, the unthinkable happens. On the night of April 14, 1912, the ship strikes an iceberg, and the “unsinkable” Titanic begins to descend into chaos. Panic ensues as the crew attempts to launch lifeboats, but there are not enough to save everyone aboard. Women and children are given priority, while the lower decks flood, trapping hundreds.
