Without doubt the definitive screen version of the Titanic disaster, told from the standpoint of Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller, the most senior of the ill-fated ship's Deck Officers who survived the disaster. The climactic sinking of the vessel is re-created with painstaking accuracy; designers used blueprints of the liner to create the sets and the whole film plays out in real time – it is a mere 37 minutes shorter than the actual tragedy.
