The dead have taken the sea—and they remember every betrayal
Dead Men Tell No Tales marks the explosive fifth chapter of Disney’s legendary swashbuckling saga. This time, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself hunted by his darkest enemy yet: Captain Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem), a ghostly figure from Jack’s past who has escaped from the Devil’s Triangle with one goal—exterminate every pirate alive.
Down on his luck, drunker than usual, and without a ship to his name, Jack is forced to ally with two unlikely companions: Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), a young sailor determined to free his father, and Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), an astronomer accused of witchcraft. Their shared quest? The Trident of Poseidon—a mythical relic that grants total control over the seas.
As the trio battles haunted ships, undead sharks, and curses older than time, the film returns to the epic high seas adventure that made the original a sensation. With sweeping visuals, thrilling action, and bursts of humor, Dead Men Tell No Tales restores the magic while deepening the legend.
At its heart, this chapter is about legacy—of names, bloodlines, and broken oaths. It’s a story where debts come due, ghosts rise, and even the most cursed souls search for redemption. The sea never forgets. And neither do the dead.
