Titanic is a 1996 American two-part television miniseries which premiered on CBS on November 17 and 19, 1996. Starring Catherine Zeta-Jones in one of her first major roles, along with Peter Gallagher, it follows three main story threads, involving fictional and historical characters aboard the RMS Titanic during her doomed 1912 maiden voyage. The miniseries was directed by Robert Lieberman. The original music score was composed by Lennie Niehaus. It is the first cinematic portrayal to depict the ship breaking in two, as all previous films depicted the ship sinking intact. It was criticized for its script and numerous historical errors.
