In this conclusion of Tolkien's classic work, the final battle for Middle-earth has begun. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the one ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the dark lord Sauron, so that the ring-bearer may complete his quest. Frodo makes his way through the darkness to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Aragon learns of his destiny as the true King and the others prepare for a massive battle that will determine the fate of Middle-Earth.
