Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Historically, pirates buried their fortunes in the holes of the nearest whorehouse.
Real items of value, as confirmed by this adventure/fantasy, were hidden.
To free his captive father (Orlando Bloom) from the Flying Dutchman's curse, Henry (Brenton Thwaites) must obtain Poseidon's Trident. But in order to pinpoint its whereabouts, he must first locate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
Meanwhile, an old adversary (Javier Bardem) from Jack's past has returned from the dead to exact his revenge as well as claim the three-pronged spear for him and his ill-fated crew.
With pointless subplots and recurring characters thrown in to convolute the narrative, this fifth chapter in the seafaring franchise surpasses previous installments with ease. However that distinction doesn't mean that it's still not a bloated rehash of plot points with a derivative villain and a worn-out hero.
Incidentally, it's more lucrative for pirates today to hijack a Backstreet Boy cruise ship.
