SYNOPSIS
An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign!
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-Earth still it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young nephew, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-Earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
In this first part of the trilogy, the shy young Hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) inherits a ring a special ring, the One Ring, an instrument of great power. It would enable Sauron, the dark Lord of Mordor to rule Middle-earth and enslave its people. Its up to Frodo, and a loyal Fellowship including hobbits, a wizard, a dwarf, an elf and men, to return the ring to the Crack of Doom where it was forged, and there destroy it forever. But the journey is frought with great dangers and takes them through the territory held by the dark Lord, who is amassing his army of orcs, the fearsome stormtroopers. And Frodo Baggins also has to contend with the internal dissent that ferments as the corrupting influence of the ring spreads to his friends. But the stakes are high: the course of the future is entwined in the fate of the Fellowship.
