As the Shadow of Mordor grows across the land, Aragorn is revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient kings. Gandalf miraculously returns and defeats the evil wizard, Saruman. Sam leaves his master for dead after a battle with the giant spider, Shelob; but Frodo is still alive—in the hands of the Orcs. And all the while the armies of the Dark Lord are massing—and the One Ring comes ever closer to the Cracks of Doom.

FLAWS: Fighting and violence, scary elements
Summary: The quest to destroy the evil One Ring culminates in a series of epic battles and very pedestrian acts by stalwart hobbits.
