Assisted by a Fellowship of heroes, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) plunges into a perilous trek to take the mystical One Ring to Mount Doom so that it and its magical powers can be destroyed and never possessed by evil Lord Sauron. The astonishing journey of The Lord of the Rings begins in the first film of director/co-writer Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy that redefined fantasy filmmaking. This imaginative foray into J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth won 4 Academy Awards and earned 13 total nominations including Best Picture.  (Dir. by Peter Jackson, 2001, New Zealand/USA, 178 mins., Rated PG-13)
