Summary

James finishes filming on The Terminator, only to see the film disappoint. James marries his producer Gale, and fights for Sigourney Weaver's big payday in Aliens. 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.
