Die großartige Verfilmung, des wohl spannendsten Abenteuer der letzten 500 Jahre! Von Meisterregisseur Ridley Scott („Gladiator“, „Hannibal“, „Blade Runner“) aufwendig inszeniert. Mit einem erstklassigen internationalem Staraufgebot! Preisgekrönter Titelsong von Vangelis.
Vor 500 Jahren wagte ein Mann, was niemand vor ihm gewagt hatte: Die Reise auf dem westlichen Seeweg nach Indien. Nach gefahrvoller Fahrt setzt Christoph Columbus am 12. Oktober 1492 als erster Europäer einen Fuß auf die Insel Guanahani. Das neu entdeckte Land ist zwar nicht Indien, doch Columbus eröffnet sich eine „Neue Welt“ - ein bislang unergründetes Paradies. Doch das Paradies wird zur Hölle. „1492 – Die Eroberung des Paradieses“ erzählt von den Träumen und Visionen eines unerschrockenen Mannes, von seinem legendären Aufstieg und Fall.
