Rated PG-13

Titanic is a 1997 epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced and co-edited by James Cameron. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic during its maiden voyage. The film follows three main storylines: a modern-day exploration of the wreck, a dramatized account of the passengers' experience during the sinking of the ship, and a fictionalized exploration of the romance between Jack and Rose. As the ship sinks, passengers must fight for their lives, with some finding courage and others succumbing to fear and despair. The film was a massive commercial success, becoming the highest grossing film of all time until Cameron's Avatar in 2009. It won eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Visual Effects, and has become a cultural icon, with the theme song, "My Heart Will Go On," becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.
