Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart. The film was, at the time, the most expensive film ever made, with an estimated budget of $200 million. It more than recouped this cost, however, with a worldwide gross of over $1.8 billion (the first film to break the billion-dollar mark), making it the highest-grossing film of all time - a record it held for twelve years before Cameron's next directorial effort, Avatar, surpassed it in 2010.
