Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge” is a rollicking new tale of the high seas infused with the elements of fantasy, humor and action that have resulted in an international phenomenon for the past 13 years.
With the release of “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” back in 2003, came the dawn of Jerry Bruckheimer’s most successful franchise, one of the most successful series of films in the history of the Disney Studios. The film series was to become a game-changing, culture-altering, zeitgeist-boosting, history-making phenomenon, with the first film followed by “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” (2006), “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007) and “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (2011). Collectively, these four films have brought in over $3.7 billion of worldwide box-office, but more importantly, inspired and delighted audiences of all ages around the globe.

Now, the rip-roaring “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge,” finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth, a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry, a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.
In addition to Johnny Depp, who was most recently seen in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge” stars Academy Award® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men,” “Skyfall”), Brenton Thwaites (“Maleficent”), Kaya Scodelario (“The Maze Runner” films), Kevin R. McNally (“Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise), Golshifteh Farahani (“Paterson”), David Wenham (“300: Rise of an Empire”), Stephen Graham (“Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise) and Oscar® winner Geoffrey Rush (“Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise).
The screenplay for the new adventure is by Jeff Nathanson (“Catch Me If You Can,” “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”). The executive producers are Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Joe Caracciolo, Jr., Terry Rossio and Brigham Taylor.
