Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Captain Jack Sparrow finds himself pulled into a fresh storm of trouble when a vengeful ghost crew, led by the notorious Captain Salazar, escapes from a cursed trap at sea. With danger closing in on all sides, Jack pursues a desperate plan centered on the fabled Trident of Poseidon, a relic said to grant control over the oceans. To stand a chance, he must team up with unlikely allies: a sharp minded astronomer who can read the stars and a headstrong young officer from the Royal Navy. The partnership is uneasy and fraught with mistrust, yet the urgency to survive pushes them to work together as a new chapter in pirate myth unfolds. Time is short and every choice counts.

Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, this entry relies on Pirates of the Caribbean framework with contributions from Jeff Nathanson and the franchise's veteran scribes. It was released in 2017 as the fifth film in the series, continuing adventures.

Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow remains one of modern cinema's most recognizable pirates, and Salazar's ghostly threat adds a fresh dread to the familiar run and gun humor. The film reinforces the franchise's blend of spectacle and mischief, leaving a lasting mark on pirate cinema. Its look and humor linger.

Critical response was mixed to favorable, with praise for visuals and action while some reviewers found the plot thin. The movie grapples with legacy and loyalty, explores the price of fame, and tests friendships as old legends collide with new ambitions and invites debate about the cost of chasing glory.
