Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

ActionAdventureFantasy143 min

After the pirate Barbossa steals the Black Pearl and kidnaps the governor’s daughter, a young blacksmith joins forces with the one man who knows the ship best: Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp is Jack, forever bargaining, bluffing, and trying to reclaim his stolen vessel, while Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner leaves Port Royal for the wider Caribbean in search of Elizabeth Swann. Their pursuit cuts through Royal Navy patrols, backroom deals in Tortuga, and a cache of cursed gold that leaves Barbossa’s crew transformed whenever they step into the moonlight.
