Genoan navigator Christopher Columbus has a dream to find an alternative route to sail to the Indies, by traveling 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 and King Ferdinand for help. After surviving a grilling from the Head of the Spanish Inquisition Tomas de Torquemada, 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.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
George Corraface would look more comfortable in a Calvin Klein underwear ad than at the helm of a ship.
– Gene Siskel,
Chicago Tribune,

rotten:
The film benefits greatly from the use of three totally authentic ship replicas, but the real thing -- as presented in the PBS series about Columbus -- is still much more inspiring.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,
3 May 2014
rotten:
Cast in the title role is George Corraface, whose credits include Not Without My Daughter and Impromptu. Does he overact? Let's just say that I think I heard him frown.
– Jay Boyar,

rotten:
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.
– Steven Rea,

rotten:
It's not politically correct. It's also not cinematically correct, humanly correct or historically correct.
