Storyline
Captain Smith is spared his mutinous hanging sentence after captain Newport's ship arrives in 1607 to found Jamestown, an English colony in Virginia. The initially friendly natives, who have no personal property concept, turn hostile after a 'theft' is 'punished' violently on the spot. During an armed exploration, Smith is captured, but spared when the chief's favorite daughter Pocahontas pleads for the stranger who soon becomes her lover and learns to love their naive 'savage' way of harmonious life. Ultimately he returns to the grim fort, which would starve hadn't she arranged for Indian generosity. Alas, each side soon brands their own lover a traitor, so she is banished and he flogged as introduction to slavish toiling. Changes turn again, leading Smiyth to accept a northern-more mission and anglicized Pocahontas, believing him dead, becoming the mother of aristocratic new lover John Rolfe's son...

Captain Christopher Newport: Let him go.
Colonist: You said to hang him, sir.
Captain Christopher Newport: Now remember Smith, you've come to theses shores in chains. You're under a cloud, which you'll darkened considerably if I hear any more of your mutinous remarks. Is that understood?
John Smith: [nods in recognition]

Trivia
Native American cast members had to learn the Algonquin language. 3000 people speak this language today, many of whom were hired by producers to teach cast members. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: Whilst walking around the ornamental gardens in wonder, the Native American walks along a path with cast iron bollards. Though the movie was set in the 1600s these where probably made during the industrial revolution some 150 years later. See more »Quotes
