Director
Gore Verbinski and the crew set sail once again for this, the third chapter in the
swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.
Captain Jack Sparrow (
Johnny Depp) is hopelessly trapped in
Davy Jones' locker after a harrowing encounter with the dreaded Kracken, and now
Will Turner (
Orlando Bloom) and
Elizabeth Swann (
Keira Knightley) must align themselves with the nefarious
Captain Barbossa (
Geoffrey Rush) if they hold out any hope of saving their old friend from a fate worse than death. The East India Trading Company and its fearsome leader,
Lord Cutler Beckett (
Tom Hollander), have taken control of the ghostly
Flying Dutchman and its captain,
Davy Jones (
Bill Nighy), and now the baleful
Admiral Norrington (
Jack Davenport) has taken the helm in a relentless bid to destroy every pirate ship in his path and bring the Age of Piracy to a violent close. Meanwhile,
Will,
Elizabeth, and
Captain Barbossa navigate treacherous waters and face bitter betrayal as they set sail to gather the only army that can stand up to
Beckett -- The Nine Lords of the Brethren Court. But
Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the lords, and as long as he's stuck in
Davy Jones' locker,
Beckett and his nefarious armada are sure to emerge victorious. There's still hope, however, if the heroic team that includes
Tia Dalma (
Naomie Harris),
Pintel (
Lee Arenberg), and
Ragetti (
Mackenzie Crook) can reach exotic Singapore and convince vulpine pirate
Sao Feng (
Chow Yun-Fat) to provide them with charts and a ship. But even the powerful Brethren Court may need a bit of help from volatile sea goddess
Calypso in order to weather the coming storm. With the entire future of the pirate way at stake, everyone will be forced to choose sides while drifting precariously to the edge of the earth for one final, spectacular battle. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
