Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a 2011 American fantasy swashbuckler film directed by Rob Marshall and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, from a screenplay by the writing team of Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. The fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, it is a stand-alone sequel to At World's End (2007) and is loosely based on the 1987 novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers. The film stars Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Kevin R. McNally, who reprise their roles from the previous films, alongside Penélope Cruz, Ian McShane, Sam Claflin and Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey. The story follows the eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow on a quest for the Fountain of Youth after crossing paths with Angelica, a mysterious woman from his past, and being forced aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. Jack contends with zombies, mermaids, the Spanish Armada and an uneasy alliance with rival Hector Barbossa, now a privateer of the British Navy.

- Penélope Cruz was the only choice for the role of Angelica. She agreed to the role without reading the script.
- Megan Fox was considered for the role of Syrena.
- As in the previous "Pirates" movies, Barbossa's penchant for apples is glimpsed in this one as well - this time, he treats himself to an apple wedge at his captain's table aboard The Providence.
- This was the first film to be released in the 4DX format in Mexico and in the Western Hemisphere, which is only available at select Cinépolis theaters. 4DX features strobe lights, tilting seats, blowing wind and fog and odor effects.
- The outdoor entrance to the Fountain of Youth is the Waikapala'e Wet Cave on the north shore of Kauai. Analogous to the film's magical watery passage to The Fountain of Youth, the cave holds a real submerged (depending on water level) passage through which explorers can travel in order to reach an isolated chamber known as "The Blue Room." Some Hawaiians tell of an actual pirate treasure found hidden in "The Blue Room" by the original discoverers. The pirate treasure (if it ever existed) is gone, but the cave and chamber remain a natural treasure, still accessible to intrepid explorers.
