In the Golden Age of Piracy, at the dawn of the 18th century, Blackbeard stood out among the lawless rogues as the most fearsome and notorious seafarer of them all. He killed for the reputation, and his reputation has become legend. Now meet the legend in this cannon-roaring, swashbuckling adventure as one of history’s most notorious cut-throats sails the Caribbean in search of buried treasure in this rousing movie event that follows the infamous pirate Captain Edward "Blackbeard" Teach (Angus Macfadyen) as he wreaks havoc on the high seas looking for Captain Kidd's treasure. His dark presence causes controversy in the local port town of New Providence, especially among the Governor, Charles Eden (Richard Chamberlain), and his adopted daughter Charlotte Ormand (Jessica Chastain), who is being wooed by Lt. Robert Maynard (Mark Umbers). What unfolds is an epic battle for control of the seas, for the honour of Charlotte Ormand, for the possession of untold riches buried in a place as fearsome and unpredictable as Blackbeard himself: the decaying and ghostly Vulture Island, where Blackbeard’s fate would become a symbol of an era’s end in the history of piracy in the New World.
