==Plot==
{{spoiler}}
As the age of [[piracy]] nears its end, a new threat appears in [[Port Royal]], [[Jamaica]], the [[East India Trading Company]] (EITC). Guiding the company's monopolistic expansion in the Caribbean is [[Cutler Beckett|Lord Cutler Beckett]] ([[Tom Hollander]]), a powerful and ruthless EITC agent. Beckett intends to eradicate all pirates from the area. To this end, he arrests [[Elizabeth Swann]] ([[Keira Knightley]]) and [[Will Turner]] ([[Orlando Bloom]]) shortly before their wedding ceremony, threatening to execute them and the absent ex-Commodore [[James Norrington]] ([[Jack Davenport]]) for abetting [[Jack Sparrow|Captain Jack Sparrow's]] escape. What Beckett really wants, however, is Sparrow and his magical compass, and he coerces Will into searching for both by offering [[clemency]].
While Elizabeth languishes in jail, Will frantically searches for Jack. An informant in [[Tortuga]] leads him to the [[Black Pearl]] that is run aground on [[Pelegosto]], a [[cannibal]]-inhabited island where Jack and his crew are captive. Jack hid there after being visited by his former crew mate, [["Bootstrap Bill" Turner]], who is now an indentured sailor on the ghost ship, the ''[[The Flying Dutchman (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Flying Dutchman]]''. Bootstrap delivered the ''Black Spot'' to Jack, a mark that his debt to [[Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Captain Davy Jones]] is due. Thirteen years previously, Jones raised the ''Black Pearl'' (formerly known as the Wicked Wench) from the ocean floor and made Jack her captain. In exchange, Jack must now serve aboard the ''Dutchman'' for 100 years or face Jones' leviathan, the [[The Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Kraken]].
