Captain John Smith and Pocahontas is a 1953 American historical western film directed by Lew Landers.

[1] While most scenes were filmed in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains region, exteriors were shot around Bronson Canyon.

It depicts the foundation of the Jamestown Colony in Virginia by English settlers and the relationship between John Smith and Pocahontas.

In 1607, the colonists have found more hardships than gold in Jamestown and Captain Wingfield is making plans to abandon the settlement.

Smith goes on an expedition to make peace with Chief Powhatan where he meets Pocahontas briefly but is later captured by warriors.

The next day, Macklin spots Wingfield hiding gold and giving guns to Opechanco's warriors but Turnbull kills him and Nataquas is blamed.

[3] Due to the lower limit budget, the film proved to be unsuccessful both by critics and at the box office.
