The finale of Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels still enthralls fans twenty years after its release (yeah, we’re old). The movie is regarded as one of the best fantasy films of all time.
It earned more than $1 billion at the box office and picked up all eleven Academy Awards it was nominated for – including Best Picture and director. The Return of the King has become the bar at which all high fantasy projects are judged.

The movie masterfully weaves multiple storylines and closes the trilogy in triumph.
In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world–and powerful. Ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome–one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.
