Peter Jackson

In Middle-earth’s Second Age, rings of great power are forged for elves, dwarves, and men — though one, the One Ring, is made in secret by the dark lord Sauron to rule them all. As the Third Age begins, following Sauron’s initial defeat, the Ring goes missing for centuries, threading its way through fates until it ultimately falls into the hands of a seedling hobbit, one Bilbo Baggins. When Bilbo leaves the Shire for good, his nephew Frodo inherits the Ring, sparking an epic quest to destroy it before Sauron re-emerges in strength. And with dark forces on their heels, and unlikely allies clicking behind their hooves, Frodo and the Fellowship must brave treacherous landscapes, treachery, and temptation if they are to save Middle-earth from eternal darkness.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

With darkness threatening to overtake Middle-earth, it’s up to a handful of brave souls to save the day. So we follow Frodo and Sam, billy-goating through the desolation of Mordor with the One Ring, at the mercy of the untrustworthy Gollum, who has his own plans. Meanwhile, Aragorn must confront his destiny as the rightful king, rallying allies for an epic battle against the forces of Sauron. With the armies in conflict and ancient prophecies reawakening, each character must face his or her darkest fears and loyalties: The tale culminates in an incandescent clash of courage, betrayal, and hope, culminating in a final reckoning where the tiniest hand determines the fate of all.

In a gentle, swaddled-in-snow town, a young girl listens to her grandmother’s enchanting bedtime story about why it snows. But this is no ordinary story — it starts in a gothic mansion with a view from the hill. Inside, lives an extraordinary creation: Edward, a man with scissors for hands. Rescued from isolation by warmhearted saleswoman Peg, Edward seeks to navigate a curious and lively sprawling suburban landscape that at once welcomes him but is also fearful of his presence. His scissorhands unleash wonder as he shapes hedges and hair with breathtaking artistry. But behind that beauty, there is a tender, fragile heart — one that beats only for Peg’s daughter, Kim.

Middle-earth hangs on the brink of destruction. Groping for respite from their harrowing journey and the torturing weight of the One Ring itself, Frodo and Sam instead encounter the dubious, dubious help of the harried Gollum. With peril a step behind them at every turn, their faith in him could be their salvation — or their doom. Elsewhere, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli race against time to rescue Merry and Pippin, stumbling into the kingdom of Rohan, a land ravaged by betrayal and fear. At Helm’s Deep hope is as fragile as a candle fighting a storm as men and elves and even the ancient ents join forces against Saruman’s monstrous host. But, in a land torn apart by war and by shadow, every decision, every sacrifice, every flicker of bravery is a small act of revolt against despair.
