The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Dir. Peter Jackson · New-Zealand, United States of America · English

The eye of the enemy is moving.

What happens

As armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world--and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome--one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.​

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"As I watched this film, an eager victim of its boundless will to astound, I found my loyal memories of the book beginning to fade."

— Anthony Lane

"Jackson is rare among the makers of epic movies in that he knows how to do the small stuff, too. The Return of the King has “heart” -- how else could it pump out all that blood?"

— Peter Rainer
