But not only are they being hunted by the Royal Navy - who wants all three of them to hang - but also by a more menacing crew of Spanish ghost sailors who were condemned to die because of a young Sparrow. After both Carina and a down-on-his-luck Jack Sparrow (who has no ship, no crew, and no lingering fortune) are saved, the trio sets off to find the Trident. So he teams up with astronomer Carina Smyth ( Kaya Scodelario), who's accused of being a witch because of her scientific knowledge. Henry believes that the mythical Poseidon's Trident can break Will's curse. One of them is Henry Turner ( Brenton Thwaites), the 19-year-old son of Elizabeth Swann ( Keira Knightley, unseen) and William Turner ( Orlando Bloom), who's now the cursed captain of The Flying Dutchman and can only go ashore once every 10 years. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES follows two young, intelligent treasure-seekers who must form an uneasy alliance with Captain Jack Sparrow ( Johnny Depp) to look for the one thing that will help each of them make peace with their fathers. Language is mild, mostly limited to "damn" and "hell." Despite the popularity of this franchise - and the fact that it offers messages about unconditional family love, women's intelligence/worth, and teamwork - it's still too scary for young kids.


The romance is light and limited to Sparrow's innuendos, some double-meaning jokes, and a couple of kisses. People die in gun battles, from drowning, via burning, and from having their throats slit. As usual for this series, expect lots of action violence and a high body count, with lots of close-range sword-fighting and killings (Salazar only ever leaves one man alive aboard a ship). This time around, an older, drunker (he downs a lot of rum) Sparrow faces yet another great enemy: the ghost of a pirate-killing Spanish captain, Salazar ( Javier Bardem). It focuses on a mission Sparrow shares with Henry Turner ( Brenton Thwaites) - the only son of earlier franchise stars William Turner ( Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann ( Keira Knightley), neither of whom appears much in the film. Parents need to know that Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the fifth Pirates film starring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.
