Story
Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are at their wedding, but all is disrupted once Cutler Beckett arrives with warrants of arrest for the couple and ex-Commodore James Norrington for helping Captain Jack Sparrow evade his hanging. Elizabeth is imprisoned while Beckett tries to negotiate with Will to locate Jack and retrieve his compass, which has the ability to point to where a person most desires. During all of this, Jack Sparrow reveals to his crew that they're going to find a key. He is approached by a reincarnated Bootstrap Bill Turner, Will's deceased father, and states that he is now apart of The Flying Dutchman with Davy Jones as the captain. Jack must repay Jones' debt for raising his ship from the depths and making him captain for thirteen years. In exchange, Jack has to live on the Dutchman for 100 years. Bootstrap informs him that Jones' beast, the Kraken, will come after him unless he is able to pay off his debt. Jack, in a panic, sails The Black Pearl to the nearest land.

Will eventually finds Jack on Pelegosto, an island of where a tribe of cannibals worship Jack as a god and plan to eat him. Jack, Will, the surviving crew members, and Pintel and Ragetti escape the island. Elizabeth breaks out of jail with the help of her father, Governor Weatherby Swann, but he is soon captured while Elizabeth is sent off by Beckett to find Jack, as well. Jack and his crew visit Tia Dalma, a voodoo priestess, that tells them that the key is in possession of Davy Jones. She also gives Jack a jar of dirt to protect him from Jones, since Jones is cursed to touch land only once every ten years.

Jack sends Will aboard to "settle" his debt with Jones. Will is then captured by the fish-like crew and Davy Jones reunites with Jack, forcing him to gather one-hundred souls in three days to pay off his debt. Being drafted to the Dutchman, Will meets his long-lost father, Boostrap Bill. Will then manages to steal the key from Jones, after tricking him to reveal where it is, while he's sleeping and escapes the ship with a promise to his father that he'll rescue him. Jack then meets up with Elizabeth and a drunken Norrington, to where they join the crew.

Jack and his first mate Joshamee Gibbs realize that the only reason Beckett wants the compass is to seek the treasure chest and use Jones' heart to control him, destroying all piracy along the seas. Will travels on a trading ship, but it is soon attacked by Kraken. The Black Pearl sails to Isla Cruces, where the chest is buried, and Jack, Elizabeth, and Norrington recover it. Will soon arrives and plans to stab the heart with the key, unaware that whoever stabs the heart becomes the next captain of the Dutchman, in order to save his father. Norrington wants the heart to regain his position in the Navy, and Jack wants it because of his interest to be immortal.

An argument is quickly bound between them and they have a three-way sword fight. Pintel and Ragetti try to steal the chest, but The Dutchman's crew arrives. Elizabeth, Pintel, and Ragetti are forced to fight, dropping the chest in the act. Jack is able to unlock the chest and hides it in his jar of dirt given by Tia Dalma. Norrington spirits away the heart and the Letters of Marque, having Jack believe that the heart is still in the jar. Later, The Flying Dutchman attacks The Black Pearl, which manages to escape but is attacked by Kraken. Jack debates on sailing back to the island to retrieve the stolen heart, but stays and helps everyone fight Kraken, being able to wound it with an explosion. However, most of the ship's crew is already dead, only leaving Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Pintel, Ragetti, Cotton, and Marty. Jack orders everyone to abandon ship, but Elizabeth realizes that Kraken is only after Jack and she chains him to the mast for the crew to survive.

Jack manages to free himself, but Kraken attacks from behind. Jack goes down fighting, hearling himself at the monster as it drags the Pearl and him into the depths. Jones watches through his telescope, declaring that Jack's debt is settled and opens the chest to find out that his heart is missing, which Norrington gave to Beckett. The surviving members of The Black Pearl return to talk with Tia Dalma, suggesting they rescue Jack from the afterlife, but also saying that they'll need a captain. Much to everyone's surprise, Captain Hector Barbossa arrives, asking about the "fate" of his ship.
