A Summary Of The Lord Of The Rings
Sauron and evil necromancer crafts and delivers twenty rings of power to the races of middle-earth in order to corrupt them all to evil. He is defeated in battle and his own ring is lost for hundreds of years. Smeagol, an innocent Hobbit discovers and keeps the ring. The ring gives him long life and is slowly deformed from its powerful influence becoming the creature of Gollum.
Centuries later on the other side of middle-earth small a vicious and powerful dragon infiltrates the dwarf kingdom of the Lonely Mountain driving the dwarves into exil. The dwarves seek help from the elves but they refuse. Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the dwarves employs the help of the wizard Gandalf who leads them to the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins believing Bilbo can help him sneak into the Lonely Mountain without being noticed by Smaug.
Upon the journey, Bilbo discovers Smeagol and Gollum and Sauron Ring of power . Bilbo spills the ring and continues his journey as Gollum vows to find the ring again in an obsessive rage. Bilbo makes it to the Lonely Mountain and hopes the dwarves and the nearby village of Laketown kill Smaug.
However smaug’s defeat kind of leaves the races of the dwarves elves and men in dispute as to who gets to keep the treasure of the Lonely Mountain. so a war is fought that eventually includes goblins and orcs and has dubbed the Battle of the five armies. the men elves and dwarfs band together to fight against the goblins and dwarfs and eventually reconcile their differences even though thorn dies in battle.
Bilbo only accepts a small portion of the treasure as a reward for his journey and then returns to his home in the Shire years pass. Sauron becomes aware that the ring has been found yet again. He raises orc armies in preparation for a new takeover of all middle-earth.
The forces of evil capture and interrogate Smeagol. He tells them a Hobbit is in possession of the ring. In the Shire Bilbo reluctantly gives the ring to Frodo Baggins, his nephew. This ignites the treacherous journey from the Shire to Mount Doom the only place where the ring can be destroyed.
Frodo travels with fellow hobbits Sam merry and pippin as well as Gandalf Aragorn the true king of Gondor, Gimli and Legolas. Gandalf dies. They are separated with Sam and Frodo travelling on their own while their friends helped recruit reinforcements from men and the elves but not the dwarfs because they’re all basically dead and they even make some friends along the way like the odd tree people the dead men oath breakers and Gandalf who kind of just comes back to life.
Smeagol joins Frodo and Sand; He attempts to sabotage their relationship in an effort to steal the ring despite his attempts however Frodo and Sam make it to Mount Doom. Aragorn and his small army make their last stand at the gates of Mordor.
Frodor for those struggles with Gollum before the ring is tossed into the molten lava at the mountains core. The ring was finally destroyed. Aragorn’s army defeats Sauron once and for all and peace is restored to middle-earth. Aragorn picks the throne at Gondor and Frodo returns home to the Shire briefly before sailing away with the elves and his uncle as they travel into the great unknown and Sam gets married and lives happily ever after.
