Plot
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 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.​

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Quotes

A Birthday Wish for a Precious Item

Sméagol: [approaches Deagol and is quickly mesmerized by the Ring. Then he hisses] Give us that, Déagol, my love.
Déagol: Why?

The Rising Threat and Hope in Darkness

Denethor: [to Gandalf before dropping the torch to set himself and Faramir on fire; extended edition only] You may triumph on the field of battle for a day, but against the power that is risen in the East, there is no victory!
Arwen: From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.
