The film tells the story of the RMS Titanic's sinking from the perspective of Second Officer Charles Lightoller, who survived the disaster. It portrays the events leading up to the ship's demise, including the lack of adequate lifeboats, the ship's band playing until the end, and the departure of White Star's co-owner Bruce Ismay. The film also explores the mysterious S.S. Californian, which could have responded to the Titanic's distress calls and saved more lives. Additionally, it touches on the coal fire in one of the Titanic's bunkers and the class distinction that affected who got a seat in a lifeboat.
