December 2002 saw The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers™ grace our screens. With the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Peter Jackson brought Tolkein's original vision to the big screen, and for the first time, outside the theatre of our minds.

Frodo Baggins, a hobbit from the sleepy Shire has the One Ring, and upon his small shoulders rests the fate of all creation.ĭirected by Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy represented an unprecedented undertaking - three films made simultaneously over a year and a half of production. Now this greatest of all lost heirlooms has been found, and in the most unlikely of places. It grants great powers to its bearer, invisibility and long life, yet also it corrupts and deceives, luring the wearer to its own dark will, for it is a part of the Dark Lord and his evil is in it. Lost in the ages since his defeat at the Battle of the Last Alliance, in this tiny gold ring is held the destiny of all Middle-earth. In the hands of its creator, the Dark Lord Sauron, it will give him power to enslave the world. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy chronicles the epic struggle between good and evil for possession of the infamous One Ring. Considered by millions throughout the world to be the greatest epic adventure ever told, J.R.R.
