Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD)

Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, hes in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeths childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearls mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeths doubloon necklace, and when shes kidnapped by the ol salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ships curse.Verbinskis PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, fil
