Titanic cost $200 million to make, which was a record budget during the 1990s.

The story is framed by the tale of a modern-day explorer (Bill Paxton) who hopes to find a priceless diamond amid the ship’s wreckage. In spite of their differences, they fall in love. Kate Winslet is a daughter of privilege engaged to marry a wealthy, obnoxious stockbroker. In the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a starving young artist who wins a ticket aboard the ship in a poker game.
