Jack ja Rose löytävät toisensa "uppoamattoman" R.M.S. Titanicin neitsytmatkalla. Kun tuhoon tuomittu loistoristeilijä törmää hyisellä Pohjois-Atlantilla jäävuoreen, intohimoinen romanssi muuttuu henkiinjäämistaisteluksi.
Piin elämä on visuaalisesti mykistävä ja tarinankerronnan rakenteita tutkiva selviytymisdraama nuoresta miehestä ja tiikeristä. Elokuvan kerronta alkaa kun Pi Patelia kertoo poikkeuksellisen tarinansa nuoruudestaan. Hän vietti 227 päivää avomerellä, selviydyttyään haaksirikosta. Itse asiassa Piin selviytymiskertomus on niin uskomaton, etteivät sitä nielleet aikanaan edes onnettomuustutkijat. Piin tarina alkaa Intian Puducherrysta, jossa asuvat Patelit omistavat eläintarhan ja päättävät muuttaa Kanadaan. Matka taittuu japanilaisella rahtialuksella, joka joutuu hirmumyrskyyn. Kaikki muut menehtyvät paitsi nuori Pi , seepra, hyeena, oranki sekä 200-kiloinen bengalintiikeri nimeltään "Richard Parker". Melko nopeasti eläimet tappavat toisensa, kunnes vain Pi ja Richard Parker ovat jäljellä. Eikä hengissä pysymisestä tule helppoa Pin kannalta. Elokuva perustuu Yann Martelin menestysromaaniin.
