The plot...
Two Spanish fishermen find a man in their nets who claims he served under Juan Ponce de León, who died two hundred years previously while on an expedition searching for the Fountain of Youth. In Cadiz, Spain, the man is brought before Spanish King Ferdinand VI. Ferdinand orders the head of his Secret Service, known only as The Spaniard, to find the fountain. Meanwhile in London, Joshamee Gibbs has been mistaken as Jack Sparrow and is on trial for his former captain's piracy. However, a mysterious Judge - Sparrow in disguise - sentences Gibbs to life in prison and transfers Gibbs to jail under minimum security. Sparrow reveals he is in London because someone is impersonating him. Jack is brought before King George II, who forces Sparrow to guide a British expedition to find the Fountain of Youth. The leader is Captain Hector Barbossa, now a Privateer in the King's service. Barbossa has lost a leg and the Black Pearl. Jack reacts angrily to this news before making his escape. He is briefly reunited with his father, Captain Teague, who warns Jack that the quest for the Fountain will test him. Nevertheless. Teague also says two silver chalices are needed for the Fountain, then advises him to join the crew that is gathering within the tavern.
Jack discovers that his impostor is his former love, Angelica. After escaping the palace guard, Angelica drugs Jack and has him taken aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, commanded by the cruel Blackbeard, who is also her father. After Jack leads a failed mutiny attempt with the shanhaied crew, Blackbeard uses both a "bottled" Black Pearl and a voodoo doll in Jack's image to force him to lead the way to the Fountain. Blackbeard's quest is to achieve eternal life so as to break a prophecy that foretells his death by a one-legged-man. Back in England, Barbossa forces Gibbs, who has memorized Jack's map before burning it, to accompany him on theHMS Providence to find the Fountain. On the Revenge, Angelica reveals to Jack that a ritual using Ponce de León's two silver chalices and a mermaid's tear must be performed at the fountain before drinking from it. The person drinking from the chalice containing the mermaid's tear will have their life lengthened by stealing the remaining years of whoever drinks from the other cup. The Revenge arrives at Whitecap Bay, where Blackbeard intends to capture a mermaid. The crew is attacked by Tamara, Queen of the Mermaids, but they capture a young mermaid. Philip Swift, a captive missionary, is attracted to her, and he later names her, Syrena.
After finding a safer port, Blackbeard sends Jack on foot to find the Santiago, Ponce de León's ship, and to retrieve his silver chalices. Meanwhile, the mermaids destroy the Providence as Barbossa, Gibbs, and a handful of men march through the jungles searching for the Santiago. Finding Barbossa aboard the Santiago, Jack and Gibbs learn that the chalices were taken by The Spanish. Jack and Barbossa then steal the chalices from The Spaniard only to be captured. While held captive, Barbossa admits that he became a privateer to exact revenge on Blackbeard for capturing the Pearl. After escaping with the Chalices, Jack and Barbossa devise a plan to defeat Blackbeard and then part ways. As this occurs, Syrena and Philip have developed feelings for one another, which Blackbeard exploits to trick Syrena into shedding a tear that he collects. He leaves her to die tied to a tree while forcing Phillip to go with him and his crew. Jack rejoins Blackbeard and hands over the silver chalices in exchange for regaining his magic compass.
Blackbeard's crew arrives at the Fountain, but is ambushed by Barbossa and his men as Blackbeard realizes Sparrow set a trap. As a fierce fight breaks out, Philip, mortally wounded makes his way back to Syrena and frees her. The battle ends when the Spaniard arrives with his Battalion, revealing that he came to destroy the fountain; he throws the silver chalices away and orders his men to tear the fountain apart. Barbossa stabs Blackbeard with his poisoned sword. Angelica is also cut by the poisoned blade. Blackbeard's shanghaied crew then join Barbossa and his men and leave. Jack stays behind to save Angelica. Syrena appears and gives Jack the chalices. Filling them with the fountain's last drops, Jack tricks the mortally wounded Blackbeard to drink from the wrong chalice, thus saving Angelica.
As Syrena spirits the dying Philip away to the ocean depths, Barbossa takes command of the Queen Anne's Revenge, renouncing his oath of loyalty to Britain (even finding his old pirate hat on board the Revenge), then sets sails for Tortuga. Knowing that Angelica will avenge her father's death, Jack maroons her on a deserted island with a single pistol so she will not starve, though he intends for her to be picked up by a passing ship. Angelica's attempt to woo her way back into his graces fails, and she wastes her shot shooting at Jack as he rows away. Jack rejoins Gibbs, who has stolen the bottled Black Pearl, along with a fleet of other shrunken ships and Blackbeard's treasure. They then head off on an adventure to restore the Pearl to its original size.
In a post-credits scene, Blackbeard's voodoo doll of Jack washes ashore in front of Angelica. She picks it up, smiling as she realizes she can have her revenge.
