1492: Conquest of Paradise

Centuries Before The Exploration Of Space, There Was Another Voyage Into The Unknown. 1492 Its the greatest adventure of all time - the tale of a humble mariner who set sail from Spain one August morning in 1492. He went in search of the orient but found instead a place beyond even his wildest dreams. His name was Christopher Columbus and his discovery was the New World. Ridley Scott's acclaimed movie recreates, in spectacular style, the explorer's epic sea voyages into the unknown. His struggles against overwhelming odds, his discoveries so fantastic they were beyond belief. It also tells how the Eden he found all too quickly became hell; and how, when the cries of a hero's welcome home faded, Columbus was left to die in obscurity. This is a story of a true adventurer's life and times; the story of a man whose quest not only changed the map of the word but also changed the course of history forever. © Touchstone Corp N.V.
