Only 3 Movies Are Bigger Spectacles Than The Lord of the Rings

When it comes to cinematic triumphs, few are greater or more universally beloved than The Lord of the Rings. Sir Peter Jackson‘s trilogy adapts J.R.R. Tolkien‘s seminal novels with the perfect blend of reverence, passion, ingenuity, and sheer ambition, resulting in one of the most iconic and epic fantasy sagas ever put on the silver screen. The story follows the Hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), as he and a group of allies, who dub themselves the Fellowship of the Ring, embark on a perilous journey across Middle-earth to destroy the evil One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. Meanwhile, the Ring’s creator, the Dark Lord Sauron, gathers his forces in a bid to conquer Middle-earth.
