we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing.
Such a little thing." - Boromir, about the ring Frodo
has found

Plot Summary:
The fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance as the Dark Lord
Sauron seeks to regain the One Ring, a powerful object
containing a part of his might. The Ring has fallen into the
hands of young hobbit Frodo Baggins, who learns from the wizard
Gandalf that it must be destroyed. Frodo and eight companions,
forming the Fellowship of the Ring, embark on a perilous journey
to Mordor, the only place where the Ring can be unmade in the
fires of Mount Doom.

Dad's Preview:
This is the first film in the most wonderful fantasy trilogy ever made.
Here, Middle Earth's diverse main characters are
introduced, and the epic journey begins. It starts in the green
shire, home to the peaceful Hobbits, then traverses fields, quiet hamlets, dank forests,
expansive plains,
snowy mountains, and finally the dark, goblin-infested
labyrinths of the Mines of Moria. It's epic and emotionally taxing, as the
fragile Fellowship trudges onward on its quest to destroy the
one thing that is evil manifested - the ring of power, which makes it a target of the burning eye of Sauron, the evil Lord
who craves it the most. |
