Item Description

The Legend Comes to Life
With the extended edition of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, Warner Bros. presents one of the greatest achievements and most ambitious undertakings in film history, all in one incomparable boxed set. Filled with lush New Zealand landscapes, extraordinary special effects and a star-studded cast, the Lord of the Rings trilogy brings to the big screen the classic fantasy tale of Middle-earth and its myriad residents as lovingly told by author J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Fellowship of the Ring; A meek hobbit of the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring and the dark lord Sauron.

The Two Towers: While Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard. The Return of the King: Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring. Peter Jackson directs these action adventure movies starring Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchet and more. This special edition of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy includes extended edition of the movies on 15 Blu-Ray discs.

Trivia
As of 2015, the Lord of the Rings trilogy has earned nearly $2.8 billion worldwide.

With a budget of over $280 million, the entire project took about eight years to complete.

The franchise garnered a record-breaking 30 Academy Award nominations and 17 wins, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Art Direction.

The final film in the trilogy, “The Return of the King,” is the only fantasy film ever to win an Oscar for Best Picture.

Viggo Mortensen performed his own stunts and insisted on using a real steel sword instead of a lighter aluminum replica.

Christopher Lee was the only member of the cast and crew ever to have met J.R.R. Tolkien.
