Following his surprise-hit American remake of
The Ring in 2002, director
Gore Verbinski took on
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the second of recent films to be based upon
Disney theme-park rides (the first being
The Country Bears). When
Elizabeth Swann (
Keira Knightley), the daughter of
Governor Swann (
Jonathan Pryce) is kidnapped by a group of pirates led by
Captain Barbossa (
Geoffrey Rush) and taken aboard their ship, The Black Pearl,
Will Turner (
Orlando Bloom), the young man who loves
Elizabeth despite the fact that she is promised to another, sets out to rescue her. But he can't do it alone, so he enlists the help of swashbuckling ship captain
Jack Sparrow (
Johnny Depp). Together the two chase after The Black Pearl, but they soon discover that the captain and crew aren't your average pirates. Cursed to remain between the living and the dead,
Barbossa and his men look like skeletons when basked in the moonlight. When it is revealed that the only thing that can break the curse is
Elizabeth's blood,
Jack and
Will are faced with a race against time and a battle against the undead to save the
Governor's daughter.
