Shot entirely in Pittsburgh, the film stars Cotter Smith, Fiona Dourif, Jayne Wisener, and Karen Allen.

Senator Smith and journalist Alaine Ricard (Fiona Dourif) investigate the tragedy as they decipher tales of hurried investigations, political intervention, and the pursuit of corporate responsibility, in addition to flashbacks to the gallantry and sacrifice on Titanic's deck during the fateful night in April 1912.

"[4] Monique Jones from Common Sense Media also gave it a positive rating, saying, "This straightforward drama is likely to entertain history buffs, especially those who've been entranced by the lore around the Titanic.

"[5] Leslie Felperin, a writer for The Guardian, gave this film 2 stars out of 5, stating "the film-makers must have been grateful that the tragedy happened in the dark because it covers up the fact that it looks like the lifeboats are being lowered into a swimming pool while a giant cutout ship capsizes in the background".

Although she praised the dialogue, saying it "sounds as if it was lifted straight from the congressional record, which is curiously pleasing to the ear and adds a tang of authenticity.
