Plot

Frodo Baggins, a hobbit, inherits a ring of absolute power from his uncle Bilbo and learns it must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. He sets out from the Shire with eight companions, including the wizard Gandalf, the ranger Aragorn, an elf, a dwarf and a man. Peter Jackson's 2001 film, the first of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, won four Academy Awards.

Sinekatalog’s take

Peter Jackson turns Tolkien's first volume into a grand, tangible adventure, as Frodo leaves the Shire with a ring that must be destroyed. Its sense of place, music and scale made fantasy a major cinematic event, and the nine-strong Fellowship earns your affection.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
