Storyline
An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign! Written by Paul Twomey <toomsp@hotmail.com>

Revealing mistakes: When Aragorn is trying to get Frodo and the others to Rivendell after being attacked by the Ring Wraiths He tells Sam to look for a plant to help stop the poison in Frodo's wound. Upon finding the plant he is looking for Aragorn pulls a small knife to cut away what he needs, which on closer inspection can clearly be recognized as a common switchblade. See more »Quotes
