Este filme alemão pouco conhecido remete à verdadeira história do navio oceânico britânico que encontrou um destino trágico. Ernst Fritz Fürbringer interpreta o presidente da White Star Line, que impensavelmente pressionou o capitão do Titanic (Otto Wernicke) para fazer o cruzamento mais rápido possível para Nova York. Curiosamente, o diretor Herbert Selpin foi preso pela Gestapo durante a produção deste filme (morrendo estranhamente alguns dias depois) e o Ministro da Propaganda nazista, Joseph Goebbels, proibiu sua exibição por suas cenas de pânico e terror. Tirando o fato de que, na noite anterior a sua estreia, o cinema onde o filme seria exibido sofreu um ataque aéreo. Sob as ordens de Selpin, o negativo do filme e as cópias existentes foram escondidos em um galpão secreto. Acreditou-se que o filme estava perdido, até que, em 1949, o negativo foi misteriosamente encontrado.
