Storyline
Titan: The Oceangate Disaster cracks open the wild story behind OceanGate’s infamous Titan submersible—yeah, the one that tried (and failed, spectacularly) to visit the Titanic wreck in 2023. The doc zeroes in on Stockton Rush, OceanGate’s eccentric billionaire CEO, who was basically hell-bent on making deep-sea adventures something anyone with cash could buy into, safety be damned. Forget your usual talking heads; this film’s stacked with whistleblower confessions, real audio, and a bunch of raw, early-days footage showing just how reckless things got. It digs into the insane technical problems (spoiler: there were a lot), the massive ethical gray zones, and just plain head-scratching choices that led to everything going sideways. By the end, you’re left staring at the wreckage—literal and metaphorical—wondering how far ambition should actually go before someone finally slams the brakes. It’s a gut-punch of a reminder that chasing glory in the deep isn’t always worth the price.
