500年前，充满迷信色彩的西班牙，认为海洋的尽头有魔鬼守侯著，只有航海家哥伦布坚信，海洋的尽头是一片新土地，几经辛苦说服女皇资助冒险旅程的他终于发现新大陆，可惜贵族们都视这土地为猪肉，只有他愿意维持乐土的自然纯朴，终被奸人排拆，究竟现实与梦想的距离，会否动摇这位梦想家的坚持呢？影片描写的是著名航海家哥伦布的航海故事，重点刻画的是哥伦布的社会性。以其子费尔南多的回忆的形式，对其颠沛流离的一生进行了追述。通过影片我们可以看到，作为一名航海冒险家，哥伦布绝对是成功的伟人；但若将他视作一个普通人，他又是一个可叹的失败者。影片生动地再现了哥伦布丰富多彩的社会生活经历，他那富有理想的心智和勇敢无畏的精神，还有那粗暴蛮横的坏脾气和贪婪攫取的性格。

In 1898, a Minnesota farmer clearing trees from his field uprooted a large stone covered with mysterious runes that tell a story of land acquisition and murder. The stone allegedly dates back to 1362. Initially thought to be a hoax, new evidence suggests the find could be real, and a clue that the Knights Templar discovered America 100 years before Columbus, perhaps bringing with them history's greatest treasure... the Holy Grail. Follow the clues as experts use erosion studies on the rune stone and match symbols in Templar ruins all over Europe to support this theory. Stones with similar markings have been found on islands across the Atlantic Ocean, and in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Is it possible the Knights Templar, long thought to have been massacred, escaped on an incredible journey and were leaving clues to the whereabouts of the stone?
The history of Europeans in North America, from the arrival of Columbus in 1492 to the business success of German immigrants such as Heinz, Strauss or Friedrich Trumpf, Donald Trump's grandfather. During the 19th century, thirty million people — Germans, Irish, Scots, Russians, Hungarians, Italians and many others — left the old continent, fleeing poverty, racism or political repression, hoping to make a fortune and realize the American dream.
