Our take on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Joachim Rønning's 2017 action-adventure fantasy sends a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow into fresh trouble when deadly ghost sailors, led by his old nemesis the evil Captain Salazar, escape from the Devil's Triangle. Jack's one hope is the legendary Trident of Poseidon, and finding it forces an uneasy alliance with a brilliant young astronomer and a headstrong sailor in the British navy. This entry keeps the franchise's swashbuckling formula, spectacle, supernatural pursuers and roguish comedy front and centre. It's aimed squarely at viewers who want big-scale pirate adventure and don't require the series to reinvent itself, especially fans of the earlier films.
