Our suggestions
In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, 'The Lord of the Rings', a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival -- or enslavement -- of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.
""The Lord of the Rings" is one of the great classics of English literature, written by J.R.R. Tolkien. It took Hollywood a while to give the world its vision of the work, but when it did so, it was done in grand style. Directed by Peter Jackson, the film has an all-star cast (including Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen...) and incredible special effects created by Weta. A universal story that has its spirit present in the feature-length version."
