4181 Isla de la Muerta is a Pirates of the Caribbean set released in April 2011. The set includes 152 pieces and is intended for children ages six through twelve. It is based upon the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, and depicts the climactic sword duel between Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa.

Contents - Description

The set includes two sections of the gold-filled caverns inside the island, plus a rowboat and four minifigures. The larger section comprises of a small flooded area beneath a rock arch, containing the slanted mast of an unseen shipwreck, and an elevated, gold-strewn rock platform with part of the cavern's wall. The mast is attached to an axle and can be knocked to "collapse" onto the rowboat as it moves into the water pool. Another mechanical feature beneath the platform allows the wall to spin around. By placing the regular and skeletal versions of Captain Barbossa on either side of the wall, players can simulate his transformation when he steps into moonlight. The smaller section of the set features a small rock outcrop bearing a brick-built casket filled with Aztec gold. The rowboat features two seats, two oars and a lamp mounted on the bow.

THE MOVIE SERIES

The key players of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series are Johhny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow,  Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa, with Orlando Bloom as Will Turner.

The Pirates of the Caribbean stories follow the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) on a quest for treasure, the fountain of youth with Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally), and restitution from various curses relating to gold and silver coins, all the while evading the British Royal Navy, and Commodore James Norrington (Jack Davenport), ending with Carina Smyth (daughter of Hector Barbossa, Kaya Scodelario) and Henry Turner (son of Will and Elizabeth, Brenton Thwaites) taking a shine to each other against (Javier Bardem) Armando Salazar, who is seeking revenge.

Pirates of the Caribbean was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer with directors Gore Verbinski, Rob Marshall, Joachim Rønning, and Espen Sandberg. The series was primarily written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio.

STORY BACKGROUND - Elizabeth Swann crossed to port Royal from England as a girl with her father, Weatherby Swann. During the voyage, they came across a ship attacked by the Black Pearl. A boy, William Turner Jr. was rescued from the wreckage. Elizabeth stole the piece of Aztec gold around his neck to prevent him from being accused of piracy.

Years later, as a young woman, Elizabeth wore a corset and the Aztec medallion she took from Will for Norrington's promotion to commodore. She fell from the fort into the bay after he proposed marriage because her corset was too tight. The Aztec medallion emitted a pulse through the water, summoning the Black Pearl. She was rescued by Jack Sparrow. When the Black Pearl attacked that night, she arranged parley with Pintel and Ragetti. Hector Barbossa, believing she was Bootstrap Bill's descendant, did not return her to shore and kept the medallion.

While on board, Barbossa revealed the crew's "undead" situation. She was rescued by Will Turner from Isla De Muerta after Barbossa found she was not the descendant. Will later threatened to send himself to Davy Jones' Locker if she was not set free. Barbossa then had Elizabeth and Jack walk the plank, and marooned them on Rumrunner's Isle. They were rescued by Norrington and the royal navy. She convinced Norrington to go to Isla De Muerta by accepting his proposal, but later revealed to Norrington that her heart lies with Will.

Elizabeth and Will were arrested by Cutler Beckett right before their wedding for helping Jack escape previously. Her father freed her from her cell after Will was manipulated by Beckett to go obtain Jack's compass. Weatherby was caught and arrested by Mr. Mercer. Elizabeth had escaped, and had Beckett sign and seal letters of marque to free Will by holding a pistol at his head. She then escaped Port Royal by stowaway aboard the Edinburgh Trader. By using the ship's rigging, she puppeteered her dress and set fire to oil on the deck revealing "Tortuga". She arrived in the midst of a bar brawl started by Norrington.

She joined Jack's crew and Jack uses her, by means of revealing Will being pres-ganged into service aboard the Flying Dutchman and using his compass to point the way to the Dead Man's Chest. Will arrived after they discover the chest. After Jack, Will, and Norrington dueled for the key, she tried to stop Pintel and Ragetti from stealing the chest, only to be attacked by the crew of the Dutchman. After the Kraken attacked the Black Pearl, she seduced, passionately kissed, and then handcuffed Jack to the mast. Her marriage with Will was strained.

Elizabeth and Barbossa arranged a deal with pirate lord Sao Feng. The deal went awry when the East India Trading Company marines attacked. Will managed to secure a crew however and they headed out for World's End. Elizabeth and Will had not been speaking for some time. In Davy Jones' Locker, Jack revealed that Elizabeth had sent him to his death. While aboard the Pearl in the Locker, boats with dead people passed by, and among them was her father, having being murdered by Beckett for his knowledge of Davy Jones' Heart. Upon return to the real world, they were betrayed by Sao Feng, who was in turn betrayed by Cutler Beckett. In order to free the crew, she agreed to go with Sao Feng. While aboard his ship, he tried to seduce her, believing her to be the goddess Calypso. The Empress was then attacked by the Flying Dutchman, and a dying Sao Feng passed on his pirate lordship to her and his piece of eight to make her captain.

Norrington, now admiral anboard the Dutchman, initially imprisoned the crew but freed them after he learned from Elizabeth of her father's death by Beckett. He was killed whilst freeing Elizabeth. At Shipwreck Cove, she was elected Pirate King after Jack broke a stalemate vote in her favour. She then traded Jack to Beckett in exchange for Will. After Calypso abandoned them, she inspired the brethren to attack the East India Trading Company. She was married to Will during the ensuing battle of Calypso's Maelstrom by Captain Barbossa. She later had her one day with Will before he sets out on his duty to ferry souls to the afterlife.

Ten years later she awaited Will's return with her son Henry Turner, with Will's one day stretched to a lifetime. A long time later, around thirty years, Henry managed to break Will's curse, and Elizabeth embraced her husband for the first time in years, kissing her.
