The cast includes Martin Allanson as J. Bruce Ismay, Graham Bickley as Captain Edward Smith, Ian McLarnon as Thomas Andrews, and others portraying the real-life passengers and crew. The filmed version runs approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes, focusing on the hopes, dreams, and personal stories of those aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic on its maiden voyage in 1912.
