A tale of adventure set during the
17th Century in the Caribbean Sea. For the roguish yet
charming Captain Jack Sparrow, the crystalline waters of
the Caribbean, like the high seas the world over,
present a vast playground where adventure and mystery
abound. But Jack's idyllic life capsizes after his
nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the
Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal,
kidnapping the Governor's beautiful daughter, Elizabeth
Swann. Elizabeth's childhood friend, Will Turner, joins
forces with Jack to commandeer the fastest ship in the
British fleet, the HMS Interceptor, in a gallant attempt
to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. The duo and
their crew are pursued by Elizabeth's betrothed, the
debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington, aboard the HMS
dauntless. Unbeknownst to Will, there is a curse that
has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the
undead--when exposed to moonlight, they are exposed to
living skeletons. The curse they carry can be broken,
only if a once-plundered treasure is restored.
