Captain Jack Sparrow is caught up
in another tangled web of supernatural intrigue.
Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted,
an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain
and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood
debt to the legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of the Ocean
Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which
no other ship can match in speed and stealth. Unless the
ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning way out of this
Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife of
eternal servitude and damnation in the service of Jones.
This startling development interrupts the wedding plans
of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who once again find
themselves thrust into Jack's misadventures, leading to
escalating confrontations with sea monsters, very
unfriendly islanders, flamboyant soothsayer Tia Dalma
and even the mysterious appearance of Will's long-lost
father, Bootstrap Bill. Meanwhile, ruthless pirate
hunter Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading
Company sets his sights on retrieving the fabled "Dead
Man's Chest." According to legend, whoever possesses the
Dead Man's Chest gains control of Davy Jones, and
Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy
every last Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For
times are changing on the high seas, with businessmen
and bureaucrats becoming the true pirates--and
freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack and his
crew threatened with extinction.
