在他的统治计划中,他所缺少的是一枚戒指--统治他们所有人的戒指--它已经落入了霍比特人比尔博-巴金斯的手中。在夏尔的一个沉睡的村庄里,年轻的弗罗多-巴金斯发现自己面临着一个巨大的任务,因为他的老表比尔博将魔戒托付给他照顾。弗罗多必须离开自己的家,穿越中土世界,前往末日裂缝,在那里摧毁魔戒,挫败黑魔王的邪恶目的。
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth.
All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
