The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is the epic conclusion to Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary trilogy. As the final battle for Middle-earth approaches, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) continue their treacherous journey to Mount Doom, guided—and tormented—by the twisted creature Gollum (Andy Serkis). Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) must embrace his destiny as the heir of Isildur and rally the forces of men against the dark armies of Sauron. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the fractured Fellowship fights on separate fronts, facing overwhelming odds and personal trials of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. Packed with breathtaking battles, powerful character arcs, and a triumphant emotional payoff, The Return of the King is a cinematic achievement that cements itself as one of the greatest epics ever told.
