The "unsinkable" Titanic was a dream come true: four city blocks long and a passenger list worth 250 million dollars. But on her maiden voyage in April 1912, that dream became a nightmare when the giant ship struck an iceberg and sunk in the cold North Atlantic. More than 1,500 lives were lost in one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. Now, using newsreels, stills, diaries, and exclusive interviews with survivors, Titanic: The Complete Story recounts the sensational history of the premier liner. In Part I: Death of a Dream, the largest ship ever built is christened in Ireland before a cheering crowd of 100,000. Witness the disaster this trek becomes as numerous iceberg warnings go unheeded and the ship sinks in the icy North Atlantic. In Part II: The Legend Lives On, over-packed lifeboats edge away from the crippled liner as a futile SOS signals flare into the night--leaving 1,500 passengers to a watery grave.

L'histoire du plus grand naufrage de tous les temps retracée à l'aide de films d'archives, de journaux intimes et d'entrevues avec des rescapés.

"Der 15. April 1912 war die Geburtsstunde unserer heutigen Welt", meinte einer der Titanic-Überlebenden. Denn mit den 1503 Menschen wurde auch der bis dahin unerschütterte Glauben an den Fortschritt in die Tiefe gerissen. Mit Fotos, Filmausschnitten und Interviews zeichnet dieser interessante und eindrucksvolle Film die Katastrophe nach, vermittelt auch bislang wenig bekannte Informationen.
