Quick recap

Henry, son of Will and Elizabeth, wants to find the Trident of Poseidon to break his father's curse. As a young man, he runs into Captain Salazar in the Devil's Triangle, an undead pirate hunter Jack trapped there in his youth. Down on his luck, Jack trades his compass for a drink, which sets Salazar free. Henry teams up with Jack and Carina Smyth, an astronomer accused of witchcraft who carries her father's diary, the key to the Trident. Barbossa frees the Pearl from its bottle and learns Carina is his daughter. Henry destroys the Trident and every curse of the sea is broken. Barbossa sacrifices himself to kill Salazar. Will, free at last, returns to Elizabeth, Carina takes the name Barbossa, and Jack gets the Pearl back.
