In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring to control them all. But the One Ring was taken from him and now, after millennia, it has found its way to Frodo Baggins, a young Hobbit. Frodo, in possession of the One Ring, must journey across Middle-earth to the fires of Mount Doom to destroy it. He is not alone, as he is joined by a Fellowship of hobbits, men, an elf, a dwarf, and a wizard.
