Capt.
John Smith leads a rag-tag band of English sailors & soldiers to the New
World to plunder its riches for England (or, more precisely, for Governor
Ratcliffe, who comes along for the ride). Meanwhile, in this "New
World," Chief Powhatan has pledged his daughter, Pocahontas, to be married
to the village's greatest warrior. Pocahontas, however, has other ideas. She
has seen a vision of a spinning arrow, a vision she believes tells her change
is coming. Her life does indeed change when the English ship lands near her
village. Between Ratcliffe, who believes the "savages" are hiding the
gold he expected to be plentiful, and Powhatan, who believes these pale newcomers
will destroy their land, Smith and Pocahontas have a difficult time preventing
all-out war, and saving their love for each other. 1995
