Christopher Columbus: The Discovery

"Christopher Columbus: The Discovery" (1992) is a historical adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Glen. Georges Corraface plays the Genoese navigator who spent years lobbying European courts for ships and funding. Marlon Brando took on Grand Inquisitor Torquemada — the man who interrogated Columbus at the Spanish court before a single sail was raised. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Benicio del Toro appear in supporting roles early in their careers.

The second half follows the crossing itself: three ships, an open Atlantic, Portuguese saboteurs on board, and a crew on the edge of turning back. A joint production by Spain, France, Britain, and the United States, the film was shot to mark five centuries since the 1492 landfall. Stream "Christopher Columbus: The Discovery" online on iFILM.
