The film then introduces Jack Dawson, a penniless man who wins tickets to sail on the Titanic with his friend. Jack first meets Rose when she attempts to kill herself by jumping off the ship because she is distraught about her forced engagement. He rescues her and Rose's fiancé Cal is forced to invite Jack to their first class dinner to express his gratitude. After their dinner, Jack and Rose later sneak off to the third-class deck and Jack shows Rose the time of her life by dancing and having fun, something she had not experienced with her snobbish fiancé and mother. Cal grows increasingly jealous of Jack and Rose's relationship and plans an attempt to frame Jack of stealing a priceless diamond necklace, the "Heart of the Ocean". Then, Cal has Jack locked up in the lower parts of the ship, while the ship hits the iceberg. This leads Rose to find and save Jack while everyone is already being evacuated and the ship starts to fill with freezing cold water. As people are in hysteria, chaos ensues as people fight over each other to try and make it to the lifeboats to make it to safety. Rose finally finds Jack and rescues him while they make it back up to the deck of the ship. The ship then starts to sink even further and the ship eventually snaps in half and Rose and Jack are thrown into the freezing cold water. There is a wooden plank that Jack finds and makes Rose float on as they wait for a rescue tea to find them. Shortly after, Jack dies from hypothermia and sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
