Novi svet

Slovenski opis filma:

V začetku 17. stoletja je John Smith del odprave, ki se poda v notranjost ameriške celine v iskanju novih ozemelj. Zajamejo ga Indijanci, pred usmrtitvijo pa ga reši princesa Pocahontas, ki prepriča svojega očeta, poglavarja plemena, da mu prizanese. Par se strastno zaljubi. Ob vrnitvi v Jamestown Smith ugotovi, da prebivalci stradajo. Zopet jih reši indijanska princesa, ki jim prinese zaloge hrane, s čimer pade v nemilost pri svojem plemenu. Sledi bitka za ozemlje med Indijanci in Angleži sredi katere se znajde Pocahontas. Dogodki, ki sledijo, postavijo na preizkus ljubezen med njo in Smithom, ljubezen, ki je navdihnila eno izmed najbolj nepozabnih ameriških legend.

Originalni opis filma:

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 Smith to accept a northern-more mission and anglicized Pocahontas, believing him dead, becoming the mother of aristocratic new lover John Rolfe's son. They'll meet again for a finale in England.
