Classic documentary drama based on Walter Lord's book about the
sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Told from the perspective of Second
Officer Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More), the story follows the
supposedly 'unsinkable' ship as she embarks on her maiden voyage
and ultimately founders in the North Atlantic Ocean. The ship
leaves port and soon Captain Smith (Laurence Naismith) is given
several ice warnings but decides not to decrease the Titanic's
speed. When the ship hits an iceberg late at night on April 14th
the situation looks bleak, especially with the realisation that
there are not enough lifeboats to carry all on board. The Titanic's
distress call is received by the Carpathia but she is four hours
away and unlikely to reach the ship before it sinks. Chaos breaks
out both above and below deck as the passengers and crew race
against time for their survival.
