Synopsis

4-Disc Platinum Series Special Extended DVD Edition

Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring is an epic adventure of good against evil, the power of friendship and individual courage.

The saga centers around an unassuming Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a Ring that would give a dark and powerful lord the power to enslave the world.
