There were 706 survivors rescued out of a total of 2,223 people aboard the Titanic. The ship only had lifeboat capacity for 1,178 people when it set sail on its fateful voyage. Many of the lifeboats had only a few people aboard as was shown in the movie.

The Titanic ship was carrying a total of 2,228 people and of those 2,228 only about 700 passengers were saved. On the Titanic about 20 rescue boats were used, however they weren't filled.The Titanic movie I believe was somewhat accurate due to the fact that most of the survivor's in real life were women and children as well.

Of the 2,223 people aboard the Titanic, only 708 people survived. Though the movie does capture many elements of the disaster, it is only a fictional account and not accurate.

706 passengers survived the sinking of the titanic. Many of the characters and events depicted in the movie are not based on reality but included as dramatic representations. That said, the movie does a good job of representing many people from the actual sinking and staying true to the sequence of events from sailing day to rescue.
