Based on the "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy, LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™ follows the original story, taking you on a journey through the iconic events of "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" - this time reimagined with humor and the limitless world of LEGO bricks. Frodo is on a dangerous mission to destroy an ancient magical ring that threatens all that is good. The Hobbit is forced to leave his peaceful land and embark on a perilous journey to Mount Doom, the only place where the Ring can be destroyed. Orcs and even worse creatures lurk on the road. To help Frodo, the Fellowship of the Ring is formed: Aragorn - Guardian of the North, Gandalf - wizard, Legolas - elf, Gimli - dwarf, Boromir - man of Gondor, and Frodo's hobbit friends: Sam, Merry and Pippin. Take on the role of LEGO minifigure heroes, explore fantastical lands, solve age-old puzzles and defeat countless enemies in the fight to destroy the Ring. Key features: Experience the open environment of Middle-earth and fight epic battles against orcs, Uruk-hai, Balrog, King Nazgûli, and other formidable creatures. Gain the power of Palantír - the Stone of Vision and jump between different threads of the story. Relive the Lord of the Rings story in a new twist where LEGO characters speak lines from the movies. Collect, combine, and craft new items in the Forge using mithril, the most precious metal in Middle-earth.
