It
is a dark time as the Age of Piracy nears to a close.
Lord Cutler Beckett (TOM HOLLANDER) of the East India Company
has gained control of the terrifying ghost ship, the Flying
Dutchman, and its malevolent, vengeful Captain, Davy Jones
(BILL NIGHY). The Dutchman now roams the seven seas,
unstoppable, destroying pirate ships without mercy, under
the command of Admiral Norrington (JACK DAVENPORT).
Will
Turner (ORLANDO BLOOM), Elizabeth Swann (KEIRA KNIGHTLEY)
and Captain Barbossa (GEOFFREY RUSH) embark on a desperate
quest to gather the Nine Lords of the Brethren Court, their
only hope to defeat Beckett, the Flying Dutchman, and his
Armada.
But one of the Lords is missing--Captain Jack Sparrow (JOHNNY
DEPP), either the best or worst pirate ever, and now trapped
in Davy Jones Locker, thanks to his encounter with the monstrous
Kraken.
In
an increasingly shaky alliance, our heroes, including Tia
Dalma (NAOMIE HARRIS), Pintel (LEE ARENBERG) and Ragetti (MACKENZIE
CROOK) must first travel to dangerous, exotic Singapore and
confront Chinese pirate Captain Sao Feng (CHOW YUN-FAT) to
gain charts, and a ship, that will take them off to world's
end, to rescue Jack.
But
even if Captain Jack is successfully rescued, the gathering
of the legendary Brethren Court may not be enough to hold
back the fearsome tide of Beckett, Davy Jones and their powerful
Armada … unless the capricious sea goddess Calypso,
imprisoned in human form, can be freed and convinced to come
to their aid.
As
betrayal piles upon betrayal, it becomes clear that Jack,
Will, Elizabeth, Sao Feng, and Barbossa each have their own
agenda, and no one can be trusted. Yet each must choose a
side, and make their final alliances for one last battle,
in a titanic showdown that could eliminate the freedom-loving
pirates from the seven seas -- forever.
