Pirates of the Caribbean
Captain Jack Sparrow is roguish yet charming as he sails the Caribbean. But Jack’s idyllic life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks Port Royal’s town, 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 motley crew are pursued by Elizabeth’s betrothed, the debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington, aboard the HMS Dauntless. Unbeknownst to Will, whose father once served with the crew, a curse has doomed Barbossa and his men to live forever as the undead, where each moonlight, they are transformed into living skeletons. This Pirate’s curse they endure can only be broken if a once-plundered treasure is restored and blood is spilled. Released on July 9, 2003.
