The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, a poor artist, and Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, a wealthy society woman who falls in love with Jack despite the social divide between them.
The film begins with an elderly Rose throwing a priceless necklace, known as the Heart of the Ocean, into the ocean, and telling her story of how she came to possess it. The story then flashes back to the year 1912, when Rose is a 17-year-old girl living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is engaged to a wealthy businessman, Cal Hockley, but is unhappy with her life and feels trapped in the engagement.
As a way to escape her impending marriage, Rose boards the RMS Titanic, a luxurious ocean liner bound for New York City.

As the ship makes its way across the Atlantic, the two enjoy their time together and dream of a life together. However, their happiness is short-lived, as the ship hits an iceberg and begins to sink. Despite the crew's efforts to save the ship, it eventually sinks, killing over 1,500 people on board.
As the ship goes down, Jack and Rose struggle to survive in the freezing water. In the end, only Rose is able to make it onto a lifeboat, and Jack sacrifices himself to save her.
