The first chapter in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic high fantasy saga returns to our big screen in its extended edition.
In a time before history, in a place called Middle-earth, a dark and powerful lord has brought together the forces of evil to destroy its cultures and enslave all life caught in his path. Sauron's time has come.
Assisted by a Fellowship of heroes, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) plunges into a perilous trek to take the mystical One Ring to Mount Doom so that it and its magical powers can be destroyed and never possessed by Lord Sauron.
Putting formula blockbusters to shame, Fellowship is impeccably cast and constructed with care and passion, re-energising the epic fantasy genre for the silver screen.
Rightfully winning multiple Academy Awards, it was the fifth highest-grossing film of all time upon its initial release.
