Additional InformationGerard Depardieu stars as Christopher Columbus in director Ridley Scott's epic film that chronicles the explorer's voyages and tribulations. Obsessed with his vision of pursuing a western route to Asia, in 1492, Columbus petitions Isabella (Sigourney Weaver), the Spanish queen, to fund his voyage, and with the help of her treasurer, Sanchez (Armand Assante), he finally succeeds in gaining her backing. Setting off in three ships, Columbus plies uncharted waters for weeks on end until his crew, exhausted and near starvation, threatens to mutiny. But the explorer rallies the men with an impassioned speech about the importance of the mission, and shortly thereafter they land in the New World. The crew establishes amicable relations with the native people, and Columbus leaves some of his men behind on his return to Spain, where he is greeted as a hero by the queen, eager to know what he has found. Upon his return to the New World, Columbus finds that a number of his crew have been killed, but insists on treating the Indians humanely, establishing a colonial government. Yet the colonists' relations with the Indians continue to worsen, and Columbus is recalled by Isabella. In a film that features Scott's typically breathtaking photography, the scene of Columbus's arrival at the fog-enshrouded New World is especially notable.

Weaver and Depardieu
This is a very good make of a film. Ridley Scott belongs to the very select club of the ultimate masters in the field of cinema. Two giants actors: Sigourney Weaver, Gerard Depardieu. This can only create a win-win situation. And the sound track by Vangelis brings the film to a cosmic level. A very, very, very good buy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not great
Very disappointing film 🎥 characters not very interesting not that well told very boring in part I actually fell asleep 😴 when you think what this man achieved against all the odds could have been told quite a lot better Not worth the time to watch Sigourne Weaver I think was only in the film for her name not for any other reason as she was hardly in the film she should not have botheredVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
