Producer Jerry Bruckheimer presents the live-action adventure "Pirates of the Caribbean," starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom, directed by Gore Verbinski.

An unusual gold medallion brings romance and intrigue, along with a cursed treasure, into the lives of beautiful Elizabeth Swann (KEIRA KNIGHTLEY), and her childhood friend, the handsome and gifted blacksmith Will Turner (ORLANDO BLOOM). When the nefarious Captain Barbossa (GEOFFREY RUSH) and his crew of living skeletons sail into Port Royal, decimating the town and kidnapping Elizabeth, a chase on the high seas ensues. Doomed forever, Barbossa's crew carries a curse that can be broken only if the treasure they plundered is restored and a blood debt repaid.
Meanwhile, Will is determined to rescue Elizabeth. He joins forces with a roguish swashbuckler Captain Jack Sparrow (JOHNNY DEPP) who wants only to reclaim his ship, the Black Pearl, from Barbossa. But first Will must help Jack escape the grasp of Governor Swann (JONATHAN PRYCE) and the dashing, ambitious Commodore Norrington (JACK DAVENPORT) whom Swann had hoped would one day marry his daughter. Pursued by Norrington aboard the Dauntless, Jack, Will and their ragtag crew commandeer the H.M.S. Interceptor (The Lady Washington), the fastest ship in the British fleet. Against all odds, our valiant heroes race toward a thrilling confrontation of clashing swords in fierce mortal combat with Barbossa and his dreaded Pirates of the Caribbean.
