The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

In Movie Theaters: Wednesday, December 17, 2003

Story line:
The Return of the King, motion picture based on the third and final book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (1954-1955) by British writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Released in 2003, the film swept the Academy Awards, tying the record for most Oscars with 11, including best picture and best director.

Trailer:

The Return of the King concludes the fantasy trilogy with dramatic battle scenes, the destruction of the ring, and the return of the hobbits—Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry—to their idyllic, pastoral village in the Shire. Picking up where The Two Towers (2002) ended, the adventure continues as Sam and Frodo, guided by the devious split-personality Gollum/Smeagol, approach Mount Doom with the intention of destroying the ring that confers too much power. Meanwhile, the human Aragorn, the elf Legolas, and the dwarf Gimli , aided by the wizard Gandalf confront the army of Orcs in a battle to determine the fate of Middle-earth and the struggle between good and evil. Outnumbered, they enlist the aid of a dead army trapped in limbo in the Cursed Mountains for failing to honor a promise. They then defeat the Orcs in a spectacular battle, distracting the evil eye of Sauron in the process so that the ring can be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom.
