Pirates of the Caribbean Trio at the NFSA

Overview

From the humble beginnings of a 15-minute Disney theme-park ride, a swashbuckling franchise of films is spun, captivating audiences with action, humour, and a treasure-trove of pirate-themed adventure.

Central to the franchise's success is the cunning, theatrical and comedic character, Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. The charismatic Captain steals every scene with trickster cunning, theatrical mincing and comedic timing. Equally compelling performances from Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, and Bill Nighy further draw audiences into the fun of the first three films: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.
