Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) returns to the screen for another round of supernatural adventures on the high seas in this spirited sequel to the 2003 Disney hit, which re-teams original director Gore Verbinski with original screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. As Will (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) prepare to exchange vows at the altar, their wedding plans hit rough waters with the arrival of sea-bound scallywag Jack Sparrow. It seems that Sparrow owes a substantial blood debt to half-octopus sea captain Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), and that the only way for the flamboyant sea rover to elude the wrath of his otherworldly pursuer is to seek the aid of mysterious and powerful voodoo priestess Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris), whose ability to resurrect the dead and gaze into the future may provide just the advantage needed to avoid a waterlogged fate in the locker of his legendary nemesis. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

With the Alliance in tatters and Sloane (Ron Rifkin) still MIA, new college graduate Sydney (Jennifer Garner) is more determined than ever to give up the spy game. But CIA director Kendall (Terry O'Quinn) insists that Sydney tackle a case which seems to prove that the Alliance is still a force to reckon with. Cal Tech mathematician Neil Caplan (Christian Slater) and his family have been kidnapped and whisked off to Switzerland, where the fugitive Sloane demands that Caplan help him assemble the Rambaldi artifacts, which when completed will morph into a deadly WMD, capable of destroying a large city. Elsewhere, Dixon (Carl Lumbly) may have to choose between the love of his wife and his dedication to his espionage duties; while Marshall (Kevin Weisman) cheerfully enlists his photographic memory in the good fight. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
