Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, continues the epic journey through Middle-earth. As the forces of darkness grow stronger, the Fellowship of the Ring is fractured, and its members face individual trials.

Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam, bearing the One Ring, struggle through the treacherous landscapes toward Mount Doom, guided by the treacherous Gollum.
