Plot Summary

The story of R.M.S. Titanic, the famous luxury liner that claimed to be unsinkable. The plot focuses on the romances of two couples upon the doomed ship's maiden voyage. Isabella Paradine (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a wealthy woman mourning the loss of her aunt, who reignites a romance with former flame Wynn Park (Peter Gallagher). Meanwhile, a charming ne'er-do-well named Jamie Perse (Mike Doyle) steals a ticket for the ship, and falls for a sweet innocent Irish girl on board. But their romance is threatened by the nefarious Simon Doonan (Tim Curry), who has discovered about the ticket and makes Jamie his unwilling accomplice, as well as having sinister plans for the girl. The passengers and crew race against time to escape the Titanic and decide who will go into the lifeboats that can only hold more than half of the ship's people before they face almost certain death.

Trivia Produced in advance of the imminent James Cameron movie on the same topic, this miniseries was rushed into production and very hastily completed in order to cash in on the latter's before-release hype. This miniseries aired over two nights on CBS in late-November 1996. The first part received high Nielsen ratings, but experienced a huge drop during the second part, because most viewers got thrown off by the lackluster production. Since this miniseries was so rushed, it included mistakes and historical inaccuracies which Titanic enthusiasts found inexcusable given the wealth of knowledge about the liner and its occupants available by the mid-1990s.

Goofs There are several errors relating to Margaret Brown. She actually boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg, not Southampton. She was not known as "Molly" until after her death, and in contrast to her portrayal as a raving, oversexed hillbilly, she was in fact an intelligent, well-mannered, social and political activist. She was also much older and less attractive than actress Marilu Henner. Furthermore, she is seen drinking and gambling in the smoking room. In reality, the smoking room was a male-only domain and Brown would not have been there. See more »

Quotes Captain Edward J. Smith: There's a line... often quoted... in the newspapers. "God himself could not sink this ship". She was appropriately named! The Titans dared to challenge the gods. And for their arrogance, they were cast down into hell.
