Notes

  • Beattie is credited (along with three other writers) with 'screen story' for Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (the first film in the successful franchise), but is not credited with the screenplay. His 'screen story' credit for the first film carries over into credits for 'characters' in all subsequent films and the Lego remake/spin-off.

Seven teenagers camp in a remote and idyllic location deep in the countryside. But that night, they see the sky filled with military aircraft, and return home to find their houses deserted and the locals detained in the showground.
