Titanic
Synopsis:
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.
