Plot Outline:

Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.


Plot: Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love — or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Barbossa is a privateer for King George II who ruled from 1727-1760. However Blackbeard who is also in this film died in 1718. His death and the myth of how his beheaded body swam around the ship 3 times before sinking into the ocean is mentioned in the movie, adding to his supernatural powers.

Trivia: There are 14 entries in the trivia list – like these:

  • The title was revealed by Johnny Depp in character as Jack Sparrow, at Disney's D23 Expo on September 11, 2009.
  • Disney's Head of Production Oren Aviv said that this would “hopefully be the first of another trilogy.”
  • Oren Aviv said Disney had chosen to scale this movie down from the former in the series; “It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger. The movies have subsequently gotten bigger and bigger and very complicated and they were satisfying on so many levels obviously, but I want to kind of reboot the whole thing and bring it down to its core, its essence, just characters.” He agreed that there is a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow's back story that we haven't seen yet without confirming or denying that we might see some of that in the fourth movie
