| Story: |
An epic vision of good versus evil, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of
the Ring recounts the heroic quest of Frodo Baggins, a peaceful Hobbit
entrusted with a terrible responsibility. Placed in possession of the
omnipotent One Ring - lost for centuries and containing the Dark Lord
Sauron's cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life - Frodo must
travel through Middle-Earth to the land of Mordor in order to destroy the ring
in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged. Frodo is accompanied on his journey by a nine-member assemblage: the Fellowship of the Ring. They are: Gandalf the Grey, a good wizard and mentor to Frodo; Aragorn, a noble warrior and future king of Gondor; Boromir, a fierce soldier of Gondor; Gimli, an ax-wielding dwarf; Legolas, an expert elf archer; and Hobbits Sam Gamgee, Peregrin "Pippin" Took, and Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck. The Fellowship is aided in their quest by Elf Princess Arwen, Elf Queen Galadriel, and Lord Elrond, whose knowledge of the One Ring brings to light the true danger and importance of the Fellowship's collective journey. Relentlessly pursued by Lord Sauron's dark riders, marauding Orcs, cave trolls, and goblins summoned by evil wizard Saruman the White, the Fellowship must resist the one ring's limitless powers of corruption. Shot entirely on location in majestic New Zealand, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ends as the Fellowship is disbanded. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
