Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a 2011 American adventure fantasy film and the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, following Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. In the film, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is joined by Angelica (Penélope Cruz) in his search for the Fountain of Youth, confronting the infamous, real-life, legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). The plot draws inspiration from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, which also inspired the LucasArts game The Secret of Monkey Island. It is directed by Rob Marshall, written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

The movie is being distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and will be released in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2011, Australia on May 19, 2011, and the United States and Canada on May 20, 2011. The release will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D, as well as in traditional two-dimensional and IMAX formats. The film was first announced in 2008 and principal photography started in June 2010. The release is the first in the series to be directed by Rob Marshall and not Gore Verbinski. It is also the first movie in the series which features fictional versions of historical characters such as Blackbeard, George II of Great Britain, Henry Pelham, John Carteret and Ferdinand VI of Spain. It will be the first Pirates of the Caribbean film to be released in 3D and Jerry Bruckheimer's second 3D film, following the 2009 movie G-Force. It is also the fifth Disney film to use Dolby 7.1 surround sound. While previous films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have been filmed in the Caribbean Sea, On Stranger Tides was filmed mainly in Hawaii.
Plot
Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past named Angelica. He is not sure if he's in love with her, or if she is a con artist who's trying to use him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. After Angelica forces Captain Jack Sparrow to board Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, he finds himself on a new adventure. During the journey, Captain Jack Sparrow must face new challenges, like zombies and mermaids, in order to reach the Fountain of Youth.
Filming
Principal photography began on June 14, 2010 in Hawaii. Filming was scheduled to move to California in August 2010, and some scenes were filmed at Pinewood Studios in London.
According to the Los Angeles Time, the film's budget was limited to $200 million, $100 million less than At World's End and $25 million less than Dead Man's Chest, in order to cut costs.
On May 17, 2010, Rich Ross confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides would be shot and released in Disney Digital 3-D. On June 15, the first pictures of Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, were revealed. On June 21, it was announced that production would be occurring simultaneously in Hawaii, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, on the island of Palomino, and Los Angeles, California. In October, security was breached at the UK site when a celebrity impersonator was able to gain access to filming at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London by dressing up as Captain Jack.
