2002 · Peter Jackson
Separated and traveling different routes, the members of the Fellowship press on with their mission to end the Ring’s threat. Their journeys converge on two strongholds: the black tower of Orthanc in Isengard, where the traitorous wizard Saruman broods, and Sauron’s iron fortress Barad-dûr buried in the wastelands of Mordor. Frodo and Sam push into the enemy country, bearing the burden of destroying the Ring, while Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli track the orcs who have taken Merry and Pippin. All the while Saruman schemes within his tower, ready to intercept and undermine any who dare approach.
