Pirates of the Caribbean is a fantasy swashbuckler film series set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean Sea, following the misadventures of the eccentric and highly self-serving Captain Jack Sparrow. The overarching plot typically involves Jack's quest to reclaim his ship, the Black Pearl, or to escape supernatural threats like cursed pirate crews or mythical sea villains, often crossing paths with the star-crossed lovers Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, all while dodging the British Royal Navy and the powerful East India Trading Company.
