Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) is a pirate adventure film set in the Caribbean somewhere in the 18th century. Pirates was directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Pirates grossed almost $654 million worldwide, becoming the 22nd highest grossing film in the United States. It proved to be a success for Walt Disney Pictures and, within weeks of its release, the studio announced that a sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's chest was in development (it was released in the United States on July 7, 2006). Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is in post-production, and is slated for a May 25, 2007 release.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
The film begins as Elizabeth Swann's and Will Turner's wedding day is disrupted when they are arrested by Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company, who threatens to execute them for aiding Jack Sparrow's escape from execution. In exchange for forgiveness, Will agrees to find Jack, convince him to work for the Trading Company and give Beckett his special compass, which points the holder in the direction of the object they desire most. Jack himself recieves a message from the undead Bootstrap Bill Turner, who informs him that the time has to come to repay Davy Jones for raising the Black Pearl from the depths of the ocean years ago: He must serve one hundred years aboard Jones' Flying Dutchman or face the wrath of the Kraken, a gigantic octopus at Jones' command.
Will finds the Black Pearl run aground on Pelegosto, discovering that the native cannibals believe Jack to be a God and that his crew are being held captive. As Will is captivated with them, Elizabeth escapes from prison and forces Beckett to sign releases for Will and herself. As her father is arrested for attempting to free her, Elizabeth boards a ship. The next day, Jack and his crew narrowly flee the island through many misadventures, unexpectedly taking along Pintel and Ragetti as well. As they depart for sea, Jack agrees to give Will the compass if he helps find the key to the Dead Man's Chest, which holds the heart of Davy Jones. The crew visits Tia Dalma , a voodoo priestess, who gives Jack a jar of dirt in order to keep the Kraken at bay.
Jack encounters Jones, who takes Will as a slave, requesting that Jack give him ninety-nine more souls if he is to go free. The crew goes to Tortuga to recruit unsuspecting sailors, which is where Elizabeth's crew ends up as well. Also at the scene is James Norrington, who has fallen from his high position following Jack's escape and has now been reduced to a lowly alcoholic. He attempts to kill Jack but later agrees to become part of his crew, knowing that Beckett wants Jones' heart to control the sea. Meanwhile, Will meets his father and they have a game of Liar's Dice with Jones to win Will's freedom. Bill sacrifices his own future to save his son, and Will steals the key to the Dead Man's Chest before departing.
On Isla Cruces, Jack's crew arrives, but Jack's casual flirting with Elizabeth makes it unclear as to who she really loves. They dig up the chest as Will arrives, and a three-way swordfight results between Will, Norrington and Jack. Jones' crew arrives simultaneously and chases the others through the island, resulting in more misadventures before returning to sea. Jack opens the chest and puts Jones' heart in the jar of sand, but, unbeknowst to anyone (Including the audience), Norrington steals the heart and takes the empty chest into the island, causing Jones' crew to follow him. The crew reclaims the chest as Norrington escapes into the open sea.
The two crews return to their respective ships, as Jones attempts to attack the Black Pearl. This fails and Jones sends the Kraken after them, resulting in a large fight. Jack attempts to flee but, overcome with guilt, returns to the Black Pearl and successfully defends everyone from the Kraken. As the Kraken recovers, Jack orders everyone to abandon the Pearl, hoping to flee while the Kraken attacks the Pearl. As the crew descends into the lifeboats, Elizabeth kisses Jack in front of Will before chaining him to the Pearl, explaining that the Kraken will kill him, thereby saving everybody else. She and the others escape as Jack is apparently killed by the Kraken, and the Black Pearl is destroyed. Jones declares Jack's debt paid and opens the chest, only to find that his heart is missing.
In the aftermath, Norrington is saved by the Trading Company and offers to trade Beckett the heart of Jones in return for his fortune. Jack's crew returns to Tia Dalma in sorrow and, at her advice, agrees to embark on a quest to the ends of the earth in order to save Jack's soul and savlage the Black Pearl. A revived Captain Barbossa descends the stairs, asking what has become of the Black Pearl and eating an apple.
