THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: With the help of a courageous fellowship of friends and allies, Frodo embarks on a perilous mission to destroy the legendary One Ring.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS: The Fellowship has broken, but the quest to destroy the One Ring continues.

As Saruman's army approaches, the surviving members of the Fellowhip, along with people and creatures from Middle-earth, prepare for battle. The War of the Ring has begun. Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING: The final battle for Middle-earth begins as Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer Frodo may complete his quest. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure of good versus evil is the ultimate achievement by director Peter Jackson in his acclaimed film trilogy.
