"Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster" is a 2025 American documentary film directed by Mark Monroe, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 6, 2025, and was released on Netflix on June 11, 2025. The film delves into the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible on June 18, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of all five people on board during an expedition to the Titanic wreckage. The documentary explores the events leading up to the disaster, focusing heavily on OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush's controversial leadership, his alleged arrogance, and his disregard for safety warnings from former employees and industry experts. Through whistleblower testimony, audio recordings, and behind-the-scenes footage, the film examines the company's "smoke and mirrors" culture and the design flaws of the carbon-fiber submersible. It highlights the contentious relationship between Rush and individuals like former sub-pilot David Lochridge, who was fired after raising safety concerns. The documentary aims to shed light on how a bold vision for deep-sea tourism ended in catastrophe, ultimately pointing a finger at Stockton Rush's unchecked hubris as a primary factor in the implosion.
