Plot – One of the rings forged by Sauron, the Dark Lord, ended up in the hands of Bilbo, a 'hobbit' from Middle-Earth. As the wizard Gandalf suggested, Bilbo entrusts the ring to his nephew Frodo whose fate has committed him to bring the harmful object to the land of Mordor. Here, he can throw it in the Oradrien mountain's flames. While Gandalf fights against the wizard Saruman, Frodo faithfully begins his journey. However, the path is obstructed by the black knights' attacks and by the Orcs.
