In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron,
The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he
could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought
it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell
into the hands of Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo
Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo
entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous
journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and
foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
