titanic

The film is framed by a modern-day treasure hunter exploring the wreck of the RMS Titanic. He finds a sketch of a young woman, which prompts the 101-year-old survivor, Rose DeWitt Bukater, to recount her experience. The main story is a flashback set during the ship's 1912 maiden voyage, detailing the forbidden, passionate romance between Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a poor artist from steerage, and Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), a young woman trapped in an engagement to a wealthy, controlling fiancé. Their love story unfolds amidst the grandeur of the "unsinkable" ship, only to be tragically interrupted by the collision with an iceberg and the ensuing catastrophe.
