1492: Conquest of Paradise is a 1992 American/European adventure/drama film. It was directed by Ridley Scott and written by Roselyne Bosch.
The story tells of Christopher Columbus' (Gérard Depardieu) discovery of the New World and its effect on the indigenous people, starting with his solicitation of Queen Isabella (Sigourney Weaver) to gain the necessary funding.
Despite its average box office intake, the film's score by renowned composer Vangelis became a successful album worldwide.
