History states that in 1607 three ships arrived in North America, bringing the very first settlers from England. It could be said that the rest is downhill from there!

Helmsman Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line) creates a charming romance in which the English Captain John Smith (Colin Farrell) and the native Pocahontas attempt to cross the cultural divide with their love for one another.

Malick brings beauty, depth and sumptuous visuals to this cinematic poetic feast.
Breathtaking and extraordinary.

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN CINEMATOGRAPHY
