Quotes:
« Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*

« Gimli: Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf.
»
« Legolas: What about side by side with a friend?
»
« Gimli: Aye. I could do that.

« Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields… and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
»
« Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food… nor the sound of water… nor the touch of grass. I'm… naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil… between me… and the wheel of fire! I can see him… with my waking eyes!
»
« Sam: Then let us be rid of it… once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you… but I can carry you!

Plots:
Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron’s army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.
“One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world–and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome–one member of the Fellowship of the Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings of Men. Yet, the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.
Picking up after the events of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), weary ring-bearer Frodo and his loyal companion, Sam, inch closer to Mount Doom. Gollum, however, is leading them straight into a deadly trap. Meanwhile, the Dark Lord Sauron amasses his formidable forces to orchestrate the decisive battle for Middle-earth. As Gandalf and Pippin rush to rally the defenses of Minas Tirith, Aragorn must finally embrace his destiny to unite the realm of Men. But to turn the tide, they must stake everything on a selfless gamble–buying the two exhausted hobbits time for one last push to the raging fires of the unholy mountain and certain death. And after all this pain and loss, it all culminates in a desperate final stand at the Black Gate of Mordor. Yet, is there a nobler cause than fighting for hope?
