FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
Assited by a fellowship of heroes, Frodo
Baggins plunges into a perilous trek to take the mystical One Ring to
Mount Doom so it and its magical power can be destroyed and never
possessed by evil Lord Sauron. The astonishing journey begins in the
first film of director/cowriter Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy that
redefined fantasy filmmaking. This imaginative foray into J.R.R.
Tolkien’s Middle-earth won four Academy Awards and earned 13 total
nominations, including Best Picture.
THE TWO TOWERS
Frodo and
Samwise press on toward Mordor. Gollum insists on being the guide. Can
anyone so corrupted by the ring be trusted? Can Frodo, increasingly
under the sway of the ring, even trust himself? Meanwhile, Aragorn,
drawing closer to his kingly destiny, rallies forces of good for the
battles that must come. Director Peter Jackson delivers an amazing
second movie that won two Academy Awards and earned six total
nominations, including Best Picture. The journey continues. So do the
astonishing spectacle and splendor.
RETURN OF THE KING
It is
time. For Frodo to overcome the wickedness of Gollum, the horrifying
attack of colossal arachnid Shelob and the soul-twisting allure of a
ring that resists destruction. For Aragorn to take up the sword of his
forebears and the crown of his birthright. For the mighty clash that
Wizard Gandalf calls “the great battle of our time. ” And for the
inspired culmination of the fi lms based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary
classic. For the third time, a Rings movie was a Best Picture Academy
Award nominee, and for the first time it claimed that prize (plus 10
more). The King deserves its crown.
AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
Follow title character Bilbo Baggins, who – along with the Wizard
Gandalf and 13 Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield – is swept into an
epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome
Dragon Smaug. Their journey will take them into the Wild and through
treacherous lands inhabited by Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well
as by a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer.
Along the path, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths
of ingenuity and courage that surprise even himself, he also gains
possession of a “precious” ring tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in
ways he cannot begin to imagine.
THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG
THE
HOBBIT BILBO BAGGINS, the Wizard Gandalf and 13 Dwarves, led by Thorin
Oakenshield, continue their journey to reclaim the Dwarf Kingdom of
Erebor. Along the way, they encounter skin-changer Beorn; giant Spiders
of Mirkwood; Wood-elves led by Legolas, Tauriel and King Thranduil; and a
mysterious Man named Bard, who smuggles them into Lake-town. Finally
reaching the Lonely Mountain, they face their greatest danger – the
Dragon Smaug.
BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES
Thorin Oakensheild
and the Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed the vast wealth of their
homeland, but now face the consequences of having unleashed the
terrifying Dragon Smaug upon Lake-town. Meanwhile, Sauron, the Dark
Lord, has sent forth legions of Orcs to attack the Lonely Mountain, and
Bilbo Baggins finds himself fighting for his life as five great armies
go to war. As darkness converges, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men
must decide – unite or be destroyed.
