The movie picks up where the first film left off, with Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) seeking to control the seas and eliminate piracy. Beckett forces Captain Jack Sparrow to search for the heart of Davy Jones, the captain of the Flying Dutchman, in exchange for his freedom. Jack's quest takes him to various exotic locations, including the island of Tortuga, where he meets with his old friend, Bootstrap Bill Turner (Stellan Skarsgård).
