James Cameron has long been fascinated with the ill-fated maiden voyage of the great ship the
Titanic, and he used the story as the backdrop for his most famous and successful movie. In the summer of 2001,
Cameron and his good friend
Bill Paxton (who appeared in
Titanic) joined a group of scientists, maritime historians, archaeologists, and deep sea explorers for a daring experiment -- to find and document the
Titanic's final resting place at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Cameron brought along a film crew equipped with state-of-the-art 3-D cameras to document the voyage, and
Ghosts of the Abyss offers a detailed look at their search for the
Titanic, as well as imagining what the final hours for the crew and passengers must have been like. The initial release of
Ghosts of the Abyss was limited to big-screen
IMAX theaters and movie houses specially equipped to show 3-D features.
