Synopsis


Note that this summary is constructed from leaked information, rumors and speculation, and thus may not reflect the finished story.

In the time since Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, William Turner, Elizabeth Swann and the former crew of the Black Pearl have united with Hector Barbossa, revealed by Tia Dalma to have returned from death, to embark on a quest to World's End, where they hope to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow and his beloved ship.

To this end, the crew, accompanied by Tia Dalma herself, travel to Singapore, where they meet with Captain Sao Feng in an attempt to procure precious charts that map the unknown regions of World's End. Barbossa and Elizabeth trick their way into securing an audience with Feng, trying to pass a disguised Will off as a man wanted by Feng. The captain sees through the ruse, however, and a battle commences through Feng's underworld lair. During the fight back to the harbor, Will and Feng trade greetings, apparently having made a clandestine bargain of their own.

Barbossa's crew takes the junk ship Hai Peng to the well at World's End, and descend into Davy Jones' Locker; the resting place of Jack Sparrow's soul. Here, Jack is facing his worst fear: he is resigned to an eternity stuck on land, with the Black Pearl marooned with him on a vast beach. Although he is initially reluctant to go along with Barbossa and the others, Jack ultimately agrees to leave purgatory, and the crew is able to return to the land of the living. However, it appears that Will rescued Jack only to gain control of the Pearl, and use it to set free his father, Bootstrap Bill Turner. His alliance with Sao Feng is revealed, and Elizabeth is traded to Feng as part of the deal.

By now, Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company has gained control of Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman, as he has in his possession Jones' heart, provided by James Norrington. Norrington has been promoted to the rank of Admiral, and commands the Dutchman as it sails the seas to eliminate pirate threats and extend Beckett's influence.

The threat of the East India Trading Company does not pass by Jack Sparrow and his companions, who join a meeting with pirate warlords from the four corners of the Earth&mdash;including Jack's father, Teague Sparrow&mdash;intending to make a final stand against Beckett's forces. They are ultimately reunited with Elizabeth, and as the East India fleet is deployed against the combined might of the world's pirates, the end game is set into motion.

During this epic battle, Jack Sparrow boards the Flying Dutchman and battles Davy Jones for possession of the Dead Man's Chest, while Will proposes for the second time to Elizabeth. By the end of the war, the fates of all concerned will be decided.
