Lord of The Rings, The:
The Fellowship of The Ring (2001)
Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is an epic adventure
of good against evil, the power of friendship and
individual courage. The saga centers around an
unassuming Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a
Ring that would give a dark and powerful lord the power
to enslave the world. With a loyal fellowship of elves,
dwarves, men and a wizard, Frodo embarks on a heroic
quest to destroy the One Ring and pave the way for the
emergence of mankind. With the help of a courageous
fellowship of friends and allies, Frodo embarks on a
perilous mission to destroy the legendary One Ring.
Hunting Frodo are servants of the Dark Lord, Sauron, the
Ring's evil creator. If Sauron reclaims the Ring,
Middle-earth is doomed. Winner of four Academy AwardsR,
this epic tale of good versus evil, friendship and
sacrifice will transport you to a world beyond
imagination.
Lord Of The Rings, The: The
Two Towers (2002)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a seamless
continuation of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy based on
the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. After the breaking of the
Fellowship, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin)
journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power with
the creature Gollum as their guide. Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo
Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John
Rhys-Davies) join in the defense of the people of Rohan,
who are the first target in the eradication of the race
of Men by the renegade wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee)
and the dark lord Sauron. Fantastic creatures,
astounding visual effects, and a climactic battle at the
fortress of Helm's Deep make The Two Towers a worthy
successor to The Fellowship of the Ring, grander in
scale but retaining the story's emotional intimacy.
These two films are perhaps the greatest fantasy films
ever made, but they're merely a prelude to the
cataclysmic events of The Return of the King. Frodo
Baggins and the Fellowship continue their quest to
destroy the One Ring and stand against the evil of the
dark lord Sauron. The Fellowship has divided and now
find themselves taking different paths to defeating
Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two
towers - Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted
wizard Saruman waits and Sauron's fortress at Baraddur,
deep within the dark lands of Mordor.
Lord Of The Rings, The: The
Return Of The King (2003)
The Fellowship's journey is coming to an end. Sauron's
forces have attacked Gondor's capital of Minas Tirith in
his final siege against mankind. Watched over by a
fading steward, the once great kingdom has never been in
more desperate need of its king. But will Aragorn find
the strength to become what he was born to be and rise
to meet his destiny? As Gandalf desperately tries to
move the broken forces of Gondor to act. Theoden unites
the warriors of Rohan to join in the fight. Even in
their courage and passionate loyalty, the forces of men
? with Eowyn and Merry hidden among them ? are no match
against the swarming legions of enemies raining down on
the kingdom. With each victory comes great sacrifice.
Despite their great losses, The Fellowship charges
forward in the greatest battle of their lifetime, united
in their singular goal to give Frodo a chance to
complete his quest. Traveling across treacherous enemy
lands, Frodo must rely increasingly on Sam and Gollum as
The Ring continues to test his allegiance and,
ultimately, his soul.
