In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power, the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord's evil dominion. Tells of the fateful power of the one ring. All the members of the fellowship, hobbits, elves and wizards, are plunged into a clash between good and evil.
