The Film: Set in Middle-Earth many many years ago, this is the story of a young Hobbit named Frodo, who has been entrusted with an enormously powerful ring. This ring is needed by the evil Lord Sauron to destroy civilisation and plunge the world into complete darkness. In order to prevent this, Frodo must find a way to the Mount of Doom and destroy the ring.
Composer: Howard Shore - considered by some to have been a surprising choice of composer for this epic trilogy - silenced his doubters by winning his first oscar for the score which introduces Celtic music for the Hobbits with song contributions from Enya, and many powerful, mystical choral cues.
