En film, der bygger på en faktisk og meget dramatisk redningsaktion. Året er 1952, da kystvagten modtager et nødopkald fra olietankeren, SS Pendleton, der i en meget voldsom storm er brækket over i to dele. Den unge mand, Bernard Webber (Bernie), der arbejder på kystvagten, får af sin øverstbefalende den umulige opgave at komme den nødstedte tanker med 32 besætningsmedlemmer til undsætning. Bernie sejler ud i det frådende hav i en lille redningsbåd med plads til kun 12 personer. Han mister undervejs sit kompas og har svært ved at orientere sig om retningen. Men Bernie følges fra landjorden af lokale og foruroligede borgere – heriblandt Bernies forlovede. Med god grund frygter de alle, at hverken Bernard eller besætningen fra SS Pendleton vil overleve. Heller ikke selvom de fra kysten danner en kæde af lys fra deres billygter for at hjælpe Bernie.

Everyone knows the story of the Titanic, how the largest moving object ever fashioned by the hand of man hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank in the middle of the North Atlantic, and 1,500 lives were lost. The tragedy has been well documented in books and on films. No matter how often the story is told, it never fails to capture the imagination. It is a story that has left many questions unanswered, and the programme provides an intriguing hypothesis that the ship that plummeted two miles to the bottom of the sea was not the Titanic but its sister ship the Olympic. This film is based upon the research of Andrew Newton and includes the evidence of the British and American inquiries, the eye witness reports of survivors, newspapers of the day, photographs, video, film and radio broadcasts. The views and opinions presented in this film are based on actual evidence and legitimate inference. It may be the ultimate conspiracy – or could it be the truth?
This documentary talks with the descendants of families affected by the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. It includes stories from the builders, the passengers, the rescuers and even some who ignored the call for help.
