Director Ridley Scott, who created a compelling vision of the future in ‘Blade Runner’ and a controversial glimpse of the present in ‘Thelma & Louise’, took a journey into the distant past with the film ‘1492’ which reveals the provocative story of one of the most mysterious figures in history, Christopher Colombus. It also tells one of the greatest adventure stories of the last 500 years.

The 1492: Conquest of Paradise album won Vangelis an Echo Award for International Artist of the Year and an RTL Golden Lion Award for the Best Title Theme for a TV Film or Series in 1996.
