Almost c century later, a 100-year-old woman named Rose DeWitt Bukater recounts her life story to her granddaughter, beginning on April 10th, 1912. The story takes place on the ill-fated ship, the Titanic, where a young Rose boards the vessel alongside upper-class passengers, including her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Meanwhile, Jack Dawson and his friend Fabrizio De Rossi, both drifters and artists, have won third-class tickets to the ship in a game of chance. Rose recounts the entire journey, from departure to the tragic sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage on April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning.
