Gore Verbinski's 2003 swashbuckler. When the cursed pirate crew of the Black Pearl abducts the governor's daughter Elizabeth from Port Royal, the blacksmith Will Turner frees the roguish Captain Jack Sparrow to give chase. From the lawless port of Tortuga to the hidden Isla de Muerta, they pursue the undead pirates across the Caribbean to break an Aztec gold curse.
