Story of the Pirates of the Caribbean So Far
So with 3 films racked up behind it... what's the story so far?
Well, basically...
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
When the Caribbean city of Port Royal is attacked by the crew of the infamous pirate vessel, the Black Pearl, Elizabeth Swann, daughter of the city Governor, is kidnapped. The pirates, led by Captain Hector Barbossa, are attempting to lift a curse placed upon them after they stole a chest of Aztec gold. Blacksmith Will Turner, a childhood friend and secret admirer of Elizabeth, persuades pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to help him find and rescue her.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Lord Cutler Beckett, a powerful and ruthless East India Trading Co. agent, arrests Will and Elizabeth for aiding Jack Sparrow's escape in the previous film. Beckett, however, offers clemency if Will agrees to search for Sparrow and his magical compass. At the same time, Sparrow tries to release himself from an old debt with villainous Davy Jones by finding the Dead Man's Chest which he can use to command Jones to do his bidding.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Lord Beckett gains power over Davy Jones, and with the help of Jones' ship, The Flying Dutchman, he is now executing his plans to extinguish piracy forever. To stand against the East India Trading Co., Will, Elizabeth, Barbossa, and the crew of the Black Pearl set out to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker. Sparrow, as one of the Nine Pirate Lords, is needed in order to summon an ancient goddess, with the power to defeat Beckett's forces.
Hope that's everything you'd need to know, going into the film. I will do pre-releases on future films so if there's anything else that is wanted to be read on these, let me know! If it's a popular idea, I'll implement it.

According to Walt Disney Pictures, the story is:
Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
