- Synopsis
- XV Century. Genoan navigator Christopher Columbus (George Corraface) has a dream to find an alternative route to sail to the Indies, by travelling west instead of east, across the unchartered Ocean sea. After failing to find backing from the Portugese, he goes to the Spanish court to ask Queen Isabella (Rachel Ward) and King Ferdinand (Tom Selleck) for help. After surviving a grilling from the Head of the Spanish Inquisition Tomas de Torquemada (Marlon Brando), he eventually gets the blessing from Queen Isabella and sets sail in three ships to travel into the unknown. Along the way he must deal with sabotage from Portugese spies and mutiny from a rebellious crew.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This is not so much a milestone to mark the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America as a millstone round the neck of nearly everyone connected with it."
-
"Released in 1,492 theaters on Friday, Christopher Columbus: The Discovery should be gone from most of them faster than you can hoist the mainsails and shiver your timbers."
-
"George Corraface would look more comfortable in a Calvin Klein underwear ad than at the helm of a ship"
-
"'Christopher Columbus: The Discovery' lacks even the misplaced energy of a camp folly. It's limp and exhausted -- a bloodless swashbuckler."
