Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest/Best scene/Johnny Depp/Keira Knightley/Orlando Bloom

The wedding of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann is halted when Lord Cutler Beckett, chairman of the East India Trading Company, arrives with arrest warrants for them, and also for Commodore James Norrington, who allowed Captain Jack Sparrow to escape. Norrington has resigned and disappeared after losing the Navy's flagship, HMS Dauntless, in a hurricane while pursuing Jack. Meanwhile, Jack is visited by Will's father, Bootstrap Bill Turner, aboard the Black Pearl. Bootstrap is now a crewman on the Flying Dutchman, captained by Davy Jones. Jack previously bartered a deal with Jones to raise the Pearl from the depths; now Jack must join Jones' crew or be dragged to Davy Jones' Locker by the Kraken. Meanwhile, Beckett promises to free Elizabeth if Will brings him Jack's magic compass which points to whatever the holder wants most.

Will finds Jack and the crew on an island and frees them from cannibals. Shortly after, Governor Swann frees Elizabeth from jail, but he is then captured. Elizabeth bargains with Beckett to find the compass. Disguised as a cabin boy aboard a Scottish merchant vessel, she makes her way to Tortuga where she later finds Jack and also a drunken Norrington. After escaping the cannibals, Jack and the crew visit voodoo priestess Tia Dalma, who reveals Jones' weakness is his heart, which is locked within the Dead Man's Chest. Jack must find it and the key that opens it. Locating the Dutchman, Will makes a deal with Jack to find the key to the chest in return for Jack's compass. Jack tricks Will, who is shanghaied into service aboard the Dutchman. Jones agrees to release Jack from their bargain in exchange for one hundred souls. Will meets his father aboard the Dutchman and learns that Jones possesses the key to the chest. They play a game of Liar's Dice against Jones to try and win the key, but they lose. Despite this, Will escapes with the key and is taken aboard the same ship Elizabeth was on. Jones sends the Kraken after him, sinking the ship, but Will escapes.

In Tortuga, Jack hires a new crew, including Elizabeth and Norrington. With Elizabeth's use of Jack's compass, they are able to locate the chest. All parties arrive on Isla Cruces, where the chest is buried, but a three-way sword fight breaks out between Jack, Will, and Norrington, who all want the heart for their respective goals: Jack wants to call off the Kraken and negate his debt to Jones; Will wants to release his father from the Dutchman; and Norrington wants to regain his life as a Navy officer. In the chaos, Norrington secretly steals the heart and runs off, pretending to lure away the Dutchman's crew. Jones attacks the Pearl with the Kraken, which kills most of the crew and destroys all but one of the Pearl's lifeboats, but Jack, who briefly flees the battle, returns and wounds the Kraken with a net full of gunpowder and rum.

Jack orders the survivors to abandon ship, but Elizabeth, realizing the Kraken only wants Jack, tricks him and chains him to the mast so that the crew can escape. The Kraken drags Jack and the Pearl to Davy Jones' Locker. Jones opens the chest to discover his heart is gone. In Port Royal, Norrington gives Beckett the heart and the Letters of Marque meant for Jack, allowing him back into the navy as well as allowing Beckett to gain control of Davy Jones and the seas. The Pearl's crew take shelter with Tia Dalma, where they all agree to rescue Jack. Tia Dalma introduces the captain who will guide them: the resurrected Hector Barbossa.

In a post-credits scene, the cannibalistic tribe now worships the prison dog in replacement of Jack.

Elizabeth screaming “this is madness!” Offscreen is way funnier than it has any right to be. I love this scene

[maicey_t.]

Best part of the whole movie. Elizabeth throwing rocks and screaming at them for sword fighting just sends me.

[limonali]

This cast had really good chemistry all around, and good comedic timing!

[juansconsuegra]

Jack’s “what” after Elizabeth said it always gets me because of Jack facial expression that went with it😂😂😂

[MatthewVanston]

Elizabeth acting like a 7 year old is just hilarious!

[matthewriley]

Despite not being the brightest, Ragetti summed up the situation pretty well.

[WorldWeave]

1:56 one of my favorite moments in the franchise

[ammarabraham]

I love how they’re sword fighting but trying to NOT kill each other. Lol

[tizyman]

1:56, okay Jack is legendary but Elizabeth is hilarious too 😂

[liammcdonough]

As we see quite often in these films, Ragetti is actually way brighter than you’d think. He’s essentially a scholar dressed in pirate gear.

[deltax]

Keira Knightly's acting in this point is just mind-blowing... others also did fantastic, especially Johnny Depp... this is my most favorite scene in the entire movie franchise!!

[damiraa]

This scene when they all are fighting for the chest is one of the best scenes in the entire franchise. Very hilarious

[joewhitehead]

Loved this since I was 13 & it never gets old! & I’ll bet Keira Knightly had a lot of fun with this.

& I’ll bet she was relieved that she got to be in more comfortable clothing in this film

[nicholasheredia]

2:14 Well, each wants the chest for hisself, don’t he? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[kaitokofuku]

What is really surprising about Elizabeth Swann's hissy fit depicted in this scene is that it takes place during a three way swordfight.

[dauntlesswarriorproductions]

Pintel and Ragetti are the absolute best comedy relief XD

[elarasmith]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT 1:50 Elizabeth is so funny

[jeebanjeeban]

2:59 when you're being dramatic but bae knows its all fake 😂😂😂

[rogeryoung]

Elizabeth: You know I’m something of a Jack Sparrow myself...

[benela]

kids fighting for key and one of them being drama queen lmao, this is the funniest final fight that i ever seen
