No. 1 "The Curse of the Black Pearl

Jack Sparrow, legendary pirate captain, loses the Black Pearl to his enemy Barbossa. The latter uses it to attack Port Royal and kidnap the governor's daughter.

No. 2 "The secret of the cursed chest

Jack Sparrow returns with familiar elements: adventure, black magic, and a touch of mystery. This time, he faces the terrifying captain of the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones, ruler of the seven seas, bound by a sinister fate. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann join Sparrow in search of the legendary Dead Man's Chest, hoping to escape the curse.

Released in 2006, the film, like certain sagas, leaves the plot unresolved in the middle of the action, serving mainly as a prelude to the third installment, without resolution.

Location for the second film in the franchise: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, and the USA (Los Angeles, California and Palos Verdez)

No. 3 "To the Ends of the Earth"

Turner and Swann join forces with Barbossa to rescue Sparrow, who has been captured by Davy Jones. Jack is the last of the nine pirate lords of the Brethren Court, forced to unite in a final battle to preserve the pirate way of life, synonymous with freedom. This film was released in 2007.

Location of third film: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, Bahamas (Caye Blanche, Exumas), USA (Golden Oak Ranch, California, Niagara Falls, Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, Rancho Guadalupe Dunes, Pohaku Mauliuli Beach, Molokai, Hawaii, Greenland).

 

No. 4 "The Fountain of Youth

Jack meets Angelica, a pirate searching for the Fountain of Youth, while Ian McShane plays the fearsome Blackbeard, and Barbossa makes his return. However, Will and Elizabeth Swann are no longer present.

The quality of the saga is declining, and this film, released in 2011, received mixed reviews. It follows the usual formula, relying on Johnny Depp's charisma, although the latter is beginning to lose its luster.

Location of the fourth film: USA (Honopu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii) and England (Hampton Court Palace, London).

No. 5 "Salazar's Revenge

Penélope Cruz joins her husband, Javier Bardem, who plays the cursed Captain Salazar, another undead character determined to eliminate all pirates. Released in 2017, the plot follows a similar formula, with the goal of finding a trident instead of chests or sources.

Critics are divided, but the audience continues to support the series, which is what matters most.

Location of the fifth film Australia (Hastings Point, New South Wales).

Where it all began

When discussing films whose success was initially doubted, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise clearly stands out, as it is one of the most expensive films with a budget of $398 million. Two major obstacles stood in his way:

• Firstly, its premise was based on a Disneyland attraction.
• Secondly, the genre to which it belonged was losing momentum, following notable failures of attempts at revival such as "The Island of the Severed Heads."

The starting point was bold: to create a film based on an amusement park attraction, and in a genre that was considered unprofitable at the time. However, embodied by Johnny Depp, who brought a fantastical, charismatic, and extravagant touch to the character, "Pirates of the Caribbean" became a phenomenon that propelled the saga to unexpected heights.
