Synopsis
Titanic (1996) is a two-part CBS drama miniseries you can watch online on iFILM. Don't confuse it with the Cameron blockbuster — this television version arrived a year earlier, directed by Robert Lieberman, telling the disaster through a handful of passengers rather than a single love story.
The plot threads several lives together aboard the grandest liner of its day as she steams across the Atlantic on her first and only crossing in the spring of 1912. First-class wealth above deck, emigrants crammed below, quiet affairs and old grudges — and ahead of them all, the ice the ship is sailing straight toward. The cast is loaded: Peter Gallagher, a young Catherine Zeta-Jones, the great George C. Scott, Eva Marie Saint, and Tim Curry, with a score by Lennie Niehaus.
One footnote for movie buffs: this is the first screen Titanic to show the hull snap clean in half, beating the famous 1997 film to it. A modest, character-driven take for anyone curious about the many versions of the wreck. Stream Titanic (1996) online on iFILM.
