The Legend Comes to Life

With the extended edition of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, Warner Bros. presents one of the greatest achievements and most ambitious undertakings in film history, all in one incomparable boxed set. Filled with lush New Zealand landscapes, extraordinary special effects and a star-studded cast, the Lord of the Rings trilogy brings to the big screen the classic fantasy tale of Middle-earth and its myriad residents as lovingly told by author J.R.R. Tolkien.

As of 2015, the Lord of the Rings trilogy has earned nearly $2.8 billion worldwide.

With a budget of over $280 million, the entire project took about eight years to complete.

The franchise garnered a record-breaking 30 Academy Award nominations and 17 wins, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Art Direction.

The final film in the trilogy, “The Return of the King,” is the only fantasy film ever to win an Oscar for Best Picture.

Viggo Mortensen performed his own stunts and insisted on using a real steel sword instead of a lighter aluminum replica.

Christopher Lee was the only member of the cast and crew ever to have met J.R.R. Tolkien.

About the Movies

Assisted by a Fellowship of heroes, the hobbit Frodo Baggins 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 evil Lord Sauron.

Frodo and Samwise press on toward Mordor, and Gollum insists on being their guide. Can anyone so corrupted by the One Ring be trusted? Meanwhile, as Aragorn draws closer to his destiny, he rallies forces of good for the battles that must come.

The final battle for Middle-earth begins as Frodo continues his dangerous mission to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron.
