Plot Summary

For centuries, a powerful ring thought to be lost is rediscovered, and it falls into the hands of a young hobbit named Frodo (Elijah Wood). The wise wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) soon realizes that this is no ordinary artifact but the One Ring forged by the Dark Lord Sauron (Sala Baker) himself. The ring carries immense destructive power, and its very existence threatens the fate of Middle-earth.

Frodo is entrusted with a nearly impossible mission: to journey to the fires of Mount Doom and destroy the ring once and for all. Accompanying him are a diverse group of allies known as the Fellowship. Among them are the noble elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), the brave dwarf Gimli, the ranger Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), the valiant warrior Boromir (Sean Bean), and Frodo’s loyal hobbit friends Samwise, Merry, and Pippin.

As the Fellowship travels across vast mountains, ancient forests, and treacherous rivers, they face relentless enemies and overwhelming darkness. United by courage and sacrifice, they press forward with a single goal: to destroy the One Ring and bring an end to the reign of the Dark Lord before Middle-earth is consumed by shadow.
