The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

The first film in the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, introduces the main characters and sets up the plot. Frodo Baggins, a young hobbit, inherits the One Ring from his uncle Bilbo. Gandalf the Grey, a wizard, convinces Frodo to take the Ring to Mount Doom in the land of Mordor, the only place where it can be destroyed. Frodo sets out on his journey with eight companions, including the hobbits Samwise Gamgee, Merry Brandybuck, and Pippin Took; the men Aragorn, Boromir, and Gimli; the elf Legolas; and the dwarf Gimli.

The Two Towers (2002)

The second film in the trilogy, The Two Towers, follows the Fellowship as they are separated and must overcome numerous challenges. Frodo and Sam continue their journey to Mordor, while the others fight a series of battles against the forces of Sauron, the Dark Lord who seeks to possess the One Ring.

The Return of the King (2003)

The third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King, concludes the story as Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom and face the ultimate test. The other members of the Fellowship must join forces to defeat Sauron and his army in a climactic battle at the city of Minas Tirith.
