Titanic

When a search for a precious necklace amongst the wreckage of the Titanic leads to the team instead uncovering a sketch of a young woman wearing it, a news story leads to them tracking down the elderly lady who claims to have been wearing the piece of jewelry when the ship sunk in 1912.

In the year 1912, Wisconsin-born Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) wins a third-class ticket aboard the Titanic in a card game and departs for the States. Onboard the ship, he meets the young and middle-class Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), who is also USA-bound with her temperamental and wealthy fiancé, Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane), and her mother, Ruth (Frances Fisher). Rose feels suffocated by her life and relationship, going so far as to contemplate suicide before Jack talks her down. The two strike an unlikely friendship that quickly blooms into a passionate affair. Rose feels a sense of true freedom for the first time in her life as she contemplates leaving the ship with Jack instead of Cal when they dock. However, when the ship hits an iceberg and Rose realizes that the number of lifeboats onboard is nowhere near enough to carry all of the passengers to safety, their love story turns into a fight for survival as the Titanic begins to sink below the icy waters.

'Titanic', directed by James Cameron, won 11 Academy Awards and a reputation as one of cinema's most iconic love stories.
