By the time of the release of the final installment in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, it was a bonafide cultural establishment. No longer could book lovers stake sole claim to the characters and story; film lovers took to it with open arms, embracing the solid direction, became emotionally invested in the characters and marveled at the (still amazing) visual effects. Even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took to the film, awarding it 11 Oscars including Best Picture.

Whilst Frodo continues his trek to the pit of Mt. Doom to destroy the One Ring, the eye of Sauron is closing in, summoning all manner of evil to thwart his goal. The twisted Gollum continues his murderous intent, leading him on a trail to certain death to once more claim the ring as his own. Weary from battle, the world of Men engage in the last stand against the Orc army amassed to ensure their extinction. The board has been set and the pieces are moving; the stakes far higher than anyone could have foreseen.
