Raise the Titanic (1980)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col 122m
Director: Jerry Jameson
Cast: Jason Robards, Richard Jordan, Alec Guinness
Synopsis:
Scientists and salvage experts plan and execute a task once thought impossible to achieve, at depths of 12,000 feet, and with Soviet agencies after the same prize.
Review:
Turning this concept into a gripping piece of drama was always going to be a tough call, and a subplot involving a powerful mineral and missile technology had to be dreamt up. But it proved Lew Grade's nemesis: the construction of a scale model of the Titanic swallowed millions of pounds, and you can still see the water droplets.
