More than 250 men leave Spain with Ferdinand Magellan as their captain. They search for riches, personal glory and fame. Only 18 of them make it back alive, led by Juan Sebastián Elcano, a noble and charismatic character.

Setting sail 500 hundred years ago in pursuit of the mythical Spice Islands, 5 Spanish ships with 265 men, the voyage of Juan Sebastian Elcano (Morte) and Ferdinand Magellan (Santoro), would prove to be a critical junction in man’s perceptions of the world. Coming at the price of unimaginable suffering; starvation, death, punishing weather, mutinies and madness, this odyssey to the earth’s unknown ends, established the world was, indeed, round, and the existence of an ocean route west. Emerging from former anti-hero and prisoner, Elcano, not Magellan, would lead the expedition to glory, returning as Captain of the greatest navigational triumph.

Directed by Simon West (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, producer of Oscar-nominated Black Hawk Down), Boundless features a stellar cast, including Rodrigo Santoro (HBO’s Westworld) and Álvaro Morte (Netflix’ Money Heist).  The six-part event series features high production values shot in magnificent locales, including the Dominican Republic, Basque Country, Madrid, and Seville.

“The Spanish periodical drama gets a lot of things correct, and it probably deserves more attention as well, as it does justice to Ferdinand Magellan and his determination to explore against the adversaries he faced.” – Midgard Times

“Agile, well-made, and with two protagonists that keep the beat.” – Espinof

“Well made, well written, well-directed, well-acted; a great TV production.” – OfficialCristopherColumbus.com
