Pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl 4-15

Plot : As Governor Weatherby Swann and his daughter, Elizabeth, sail to Port Royal, Jamaica, their ship, HMS Dauntless encounters a shipwreck with a sole survivor, the young Will Turner. Elizabeth finds and takes a gold skull medallion from around the unconscious Will's neck and hides it, fearing he will be accused of piracy. She then sees the ghostly Black Pearl. Eight years later, Captain James Norrington of the British Royal Navy is promoted to Commodore. At his ceremony, he proposes to Elizabeth, but before answering, she tumbles into the bay due to an overly tight corset which constricts her breathing. The skull medallion she is wearing emits a mysterious pulse through the water. Meanwhile, pirate Captain Jack Sparrow has arrived in Port Royal to commandeer a ship. Seeing Elizabeth fall, he rescues her, but is promptly arrested for piracy. He escapes and ducks into a blacksmith shop where he encounters Will Turner, now a blacksmith's apprentice and self-taught expert swordsman. Following a swordfight with Turner, Sparrow is knocked unconscious and jailed, to be hanged the next day. That night, Port Royal is besieged by the Black Pearl, having been called by the mysterious pulse from Elizabeth's medallion. Elizabeth is captured and invokes parley— an agreement ensuring one's safety until meeting and negotiating with the opposing side. To protect her identity, Elizabeth tells Captain Hector Barbossa her last name is "Turner". She negotiates for the pirates to cease the attack on Port Royal in exchange for the medallion. Barbossa agrees, but employing a loophole in their agreement, he keeps Elizabeth prisoner, believing she is the key to breaking an ancient curse they are under. Cast : Johnny Depp ...
