The charming yet trouble-loving Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) finds himself in a world of adventure and mystery amidst the crystal-clear, azure seas of the Caribbean—a paradise elevated like an ocean above the ground. However, Jack's carefree life takes a dramatic turn when his cunning nemesis, Captain Barbossa (played by Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, the "Black Pearl." Barbossa then attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the beautiful daughter of the governor, Elizabeth Swann (played by Keira Knightley). Accompanied by Elizabeth's childhood friend, Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom), Jack bravely sets sail on the fastest warship of the British fleet, the "Interceptor," to rescue her and reclaim the "Black Pearl." Meanwhile, Elizabeth's fiancé, the gentlemanly fleet commander Norrington (played by Jack Davenport), chases after them aboard the warship "Dauntless."

Unbeknownst to Will, Barbossa and his crew are cursed, doomed to live as undead beings. Under the light of the moon, they transform into immortal skeletons. This curse can only be lifted once the treasure they once plundered is returned to its rightful place.
