One of the biggest and most spectacular films in history sails back into cinemas in astonishing 3D!
A box office record-breaker and nominated for 11 Oscars, 'Titanic' was the film everyone had to see back in 1998. And now there's a reason why everybody should see it on the big screen again! Writer/director James Cameron went on to direct 'Avatar', the epic that showed how awe-inspiring 3D could be. Now he's returned to 'Titanic' to oversee its painstaking conversion to 3D. The secret of the film's success is its combination of incredible spectacle with a touching love story. Recreated in jaw-dropping widescreen magnificence, the dramatic sinking of the RMS Titanic on her maiden voyage exactly 100 years ago is reason enough to watch Cameron's masterpiece. But it's the involving, passionate romance between passengers from opposite ends of the social spectrum - Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) and Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) - that secured the film's place in movie history.

An eccentric, wealthy Sheikh (Amr Wakid) is determined to realise his lifelong dream - salmon fishing in the parched wadis of Yemen.

Adapted from Paul Torday's novel by 'Slumdog Millionaire' screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, this charming story is directed by Lasse Hallstrom, who gave us 'Chocolat'.
