The lord of the rings. The fellowship of the ring [videorecording] / New Line Cinema presents a Wingnut Films production ; producers, Barrie M. Osborne, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Tim Sanders ; screenplay writers, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Peter Jackson ; directed by Peter Jackson.
Elderly hobbit Bilbo Baggins relinquishes possession of a golden ring possessing magical powers to Frodo, his youthful heir. Charged with casting the ring into the fires from which it was forged, the young hobbit begins an arduous trek across Middle-earth, accompanied by a stalwart band including his best friend Sam, the mercurial wizard Gandalf, the warrior Aragorn, and the blustery Gimli, among others. Opposed by the treacherous sorcerer Saruman and the demonic emissaries of Sauron, the Dark Lord, this ever-embattled Fellowship makes its way slowly toward the dark land of Mordor.
