==Synopsis==
Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow feels the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost sailors led by his old nemesis, the evil Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle. Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it, he must forge an uneasy alliance with a brilliant and beautiful astronomer and a headstrong young man in the British navy.
==Plot==
13 years after the events of At World's End, 12-year-old Henry Turner boards to the Flying Dutchman and inform his father, Will Turner, that the curse which binds Will to the Dutchman and only permit him to step on land once a decade can be broken by the Trident of Poseidon. Henry intend to recruit Jack Sparrow to help find it, but Will believes it's impossible and orders Henry to leave. Will and the Dutchman then disappear into the sea, but Henry vows to find Jack and the Trident.
Nine years later, Henry is a sailor in the British Royal Navy. The ship sails into the supernatural Devil Triangle and stumbles upon the wreck of the Silent Mary, whose ghostly crew led by Spanish pirate hunter Captain Salazar attack. Salazar spares Henry's life to deliver a message to Jack: Salazar is coming for him.
In Saint Martin, a young astronomer and horologist named Carina Smyth is sentenced to death for witchcraft but escaped and briefly croses paths with Jack Sparrow as he and his crew spectacularly blunder a bank robbery. Having suffered a year of bad luck, Jack crew lost faith in their captain and desert him. Depressed Jack, trades his magical compass for a drink. However, this betrayal of the compass free Salazar and his crew from the Devil Triangle. Carina learn that Henry is looking for the Tridents location and offer to help him using her unknown farher diary. Carina and Jack are captured and face esecution, but are saved by Henry and Jack crew, setting seil on Dying Gull. Carina deciphers clues that the stars will lead to an Island where the Trident was hidden.
Meanwhile, Hector Barbossa heard from Mullroy and Murtogg that the revived Captain Salazar had killed several pirates at the seas and had destroyed his fleet. Barbossa manage to talk his way out of being killed by offering to help to find Jack and learn that the Trident could lead him to a new treasure. Salazar agree, wanting revenge on the pirate that caused his demise. Salazar pursues the Dying Gull, forcing Jack, Henry and Carina to flee to an Island, discovering that Salazar and his crew cannot go on land. After saving Jack from a forced marriage, Barbossa allies himself with Jack, returning his compass and restoring the miniaturized Black Pearl, trapped in a bottle from Blackbeard, to its original size. They all continue their journey to the Trident s Island, with Barbossa taking the command of the Pearl once more. During the voyage, Jack and Barbossa realized that Carina is the latter's long lost daughter. Barbossa tell Jack that he had left her in an orphanage with his diary so she could have a better life and refuse to tell the truth so she will continue to believe that his father was an astronomer. Approaching to the Trident Island, the Pearl evades a Royal Navy warship, which is destroyed by the Silent Mary before the Pearl run aground on the island. Jack, Barbossa and Carina use the Island magic to part the ocean and open a path to the Trident location on the ocean floor. Salazar captures Henry and possesses him in order to walk on the ocean floor and seize the Trident. Once he does so, Henry is given his body back, and Jack distracts Salazar, allowing Henry to break the Trident, breaking all the curses of the seas and restoring Salazar and his crew to life. However, the divided seas begins to collapse in on itself. The Pearl lowers its anchor to lift them to safety, but Salazar pursues them, still hell-bent to killing Jack. Carina realize finally that Barbossa is her father when she spotted a tattoo on his arm identical to the diary cover. Barbossa sacrificed himself to kill Salazar allowing the others to escape alive.
Sometime later, Henry and Carina reach Port Royal, where Will Turner appears, free from the Dutchman. His wife, Elizabeth Swann appears moments later and the Turner family is officially reunited. Henry and Carina start to dating each other. Jack watches the scene from the Pearl before sailing away into the beloved horizon having being accepted by his crew as their captain once again, while also adopting Capitain Barbossa now-homeless monkey, who had obtained the compass for his new master.
In the post credit scene, as a storm rages outside a window, curtains waft in the breeze with the wind howling, lightning crashing, thunder rumbling, and rain pattering. Elizabeth and Will Turner are fast asleep in a bed of white cotton sheets. Footsteps approach when the bedroom door opens and a sliver of light from outside the creaking door shines across the bed. Lightning crashes as the shadow of Davy Jones falls across the wooden floor of the room and moves closer to the bed as the large-headed figure comes to stand over the sleeping couple. Lightning flashes across their faces as Will sits up and sees Davy Jones's crab claw. Will wakes up, then looks again, but there's nobody there. He turns towards his sleeping wife and heaves a deep sigh. Elizabeth moans as Will wraps her in his arms and holds her close. Lightning crashes as barnacles lie in a puddle of water on the floor next to the bed.

During production, Johnny Depp and his then wife Amber Heard breached Australia's strict bio-security laws when they failed to declare their two dogs to the Australian Customs Service when they flew by private jet into Queensland, where filming was taken place. Heard was charged with two counts of illegally importing the dogs into the country and one count of producing a false document. In April 2016, Heard appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court and pleaded guilty to falsifying quarantine documents, stating that she was sleep deprived and made a mistake. The two bio-security charges were dropped, and she was placed on a one-month good behavior bond, paying a $1,000 fine for producing a false document. Heard and Depp also released a video in which they apologized for their behavior and urged people to adhere to the bio-security laws. Australian newspaper The Guardian called the case the "highest profile criminal quarantine case" in Australian history.//www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/johnny-depp-fully-aware-of-breaking-australian-quarantine-with-dogs-tmg-court-papers-20170625-gwy2rw.html https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/johnny-depp-fully-aware-of-breaking-australian-quarantine-with-dogs-tmg-court-papers-20170625-gwy2rw.html
