Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

The life of Governor's daughter Elizabeth Swann is upended when she is kidnapped by the crew of the terrifying pirate ship, the Black Pearl, led by the ruthless and cursed Captain Barbossa. The pirates are immortal, skeletal undead who seek the final piece of Aztec gold to break their ancient curse. Blacksmith Will Turner, who secretly loves Elizabeth, forms an unlikely and mutually distrustful alliance with the notorious, eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to pursue the Pearl. They must race against the immortal pirates, the formidable British Navy, and Jack's own self-serving schemes to save Elizabeth and break the horrifying curse that binds Barbossa and his crew.
