The Lord of the Rings

1: Bilbo Baggins' birthday ends with a bang. 2: Frodo sets out on his long journey carrying the Ring with him. 3: At Weathertop Frodo is wounded by the Nazgul, but Sam's wish to see the elves is granted and the company arrive at Rivendell, where Frodo is made happy by the presence of Bilbo. 4: The Company of Nine, with Frodo as the Ring-bearer, set off on their journey. 5: The company of the Ring reach Lothlorien, the forest of the dwellings of the elves and Frodo and Sam look into the mirror of Galadriel and see something of the future. 6:With the death of Boromir the fellowship is irretrievably broken. Frodo and Sam set off on their own to Mordor, but take an unlucky guide - Gollum. 7: Gollum leads Frodo and Sam through the Dead Marshes on their way to Mordor, while Pippin and Merry follow Treebeard and the Ents in their assault on Isengard. 8: Saruman's honeyed words fail to win over Theoden and he, Gandalf and Aragorn decide that they must fight the enemy at Minas Tirith. 9: Faramir, son of Denethor, gives his friendship to Frodo and Sam and shows his quality - he, unlike his brother Boromir, does not desire the Ring. 10: In Shelob's lair Frodo is attacked and Sam leaves him for dead, taking the ring so that he can finish the task. But orca capture Frodo and take him to the stronghold of Barad-dur. 11: In the Battle of Pelennor Fields the Lord of the Nazgul is killed but Theoden is slain and Eowyn and Merry are injured and taken to the House of Healing where Aragorn proves that the hands of the king are the hands of a healer. 12: Frodo brings the Ring to the Crack of Doom and the deeds of the halflings are celebrated in music. 13: The hobbits have one more task to do: to remove Saruman from the Shire and to put it to rights.
