Nel 1607 tre navi inglesi approdano in Virginia, 103 uomini fondano la colonia di Jamestown e il capitano John Smith viene incaricato di addentrarsi nella foresta alla ricerca di rifornimenti nel vicino villaggio. Ma viene fatto prigioniero dalla tribù indiana dei Powhatan, Smith viene salvato dalla principessa Pocahontas che si innamora di lui. Ma quando la tregua si rompe Pocahontas, viene cacciata dal padre, e si ritrova costretta a vivere tra i pionieri e, dopo essere stata abbandonata da Smith, accetta di sposare l'aristocratico vedovo John Rolfe, che la conduce in Inghilterra, alla corte del Re.

The New World - Il nuovo mondo è il quarto film di Terrence Malick.

Note

* Per il ruolo di Pocahontas è stata scelta l'allora quindicenne Q'Orianka Kilcher, cantante di origini indio-peruviane nata in Germania ed apparsa sino al quel momento solamente nel ruolo di una corista nel film Il Grinch. Il suo nome in lingua Incas, significa Aquila d'oro.
