Summary

James' vision is threatened by a mutiny at Pinewood Studios. Pressure builds on composer James Horner. James' father declines an opportunity to celebrate his son's success.

This award-winning 10-part original miniseries stars Ross Marquand (The Walking Dead, Avengers: Endgame) as up-and-coming writer-director James Cameron, and tells the story of how he fought through decades of personal struggles and career setbacks to assemble the most expensive and grueling movie production of all-time, Titanic, that nearly sank two film studios.
