Synopsis

‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy follows the hobbit Frodo Baggins as he and several friends embark on a perilous journey through Middle Earth. Their great task: to destroy the One Ring by dropping it into a volcano in the gloomy land of Mordor, thus ensuring the destruction of the ring’s maker, the Dark Lord Sauron. Jackson’s epic rendition of Tolkien’s magnum opus is an extraordinary accomplishment, its bravery, scope and ambition matched only by its visionary talent. Together, the three films were nominated for 30 Academy Awards.
