About

Frodo and Sam, guided by Gollum, continue toward Mordor to destroy the One Ring while Gondor's armies face Sauron's forces.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is the third part of Peter Jackson's film trilogy, based on J. R. R. Tolkien's novel. Frodo, played by Elijah Wood, continues the journey to Mordor with Sam (Sean Astin) and Gollum (Andy Serkis) to destroy the One Ring. Elsewhere, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) takes Pippin (Billy Boyd) to Minas Tirith to warn Denethor (John Noble), the steward of Gondor, about an attack. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) is revealed as the heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin are reunited with the others at Isengard.
