Gandalf gives this responsibility to Frodo, and Frodo hesitantly sets out on this heroic journey. This is the only place where it can be destroyed. Gandalf (Ian McKellan), a well-loved wizard, knows that hobbits are the only race in Middle Earth pure enough of heart to carry the Ring safely to the land of Mordor. When the Ring is lost to him, he makes it his purpose to get it back and unleash his evil power on Middle Earth. Sauron (Sala Baker) created the Ring centuries earlier to rule Middle Earth. To do this, Frodo must destroy Sauron’s evil Ring of Power (‘the one ring to rule them all’). The Fellowship of the Ring tells the story of Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), a humble hobbit thrust unexpectedly into a treacherous quest to save the lands of Middle Earth from the Dark Lord, Sauron. The movie is based closely on the well-loved book of the same name, written by J.R.R. The Fellowship of the Ring is the first movie in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson.
