Saruman's forces have been destroyed, and the besieged fortress. It is time to decide the fate of Middle-earth, and for the first time, there seems little hope. The interest of the Dark Lord Sauron is now on Gondor, the last stronghold of men, whose throne is claimed by Aragorn. Sauron is preparing to launch a decisive attack on Gondor. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam continue their journey to Mordor, hoping to get to Mount Doom. ORIGINAL TITLE The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King YEAR 2003 DURATION Trailers / Videos 201 min.
