The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Peter Jackson · 2003 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

The beacons are lit and the horsemen of Rohan ride for a besieged white city, while an exiled ranger takes a road under the mountain to raise an army that owes a broken oath. The two hobbits climb through the enemy's own country toward a stair and a tunnel guarded by something older than orcs. The trilogy's close took eleven Oscars, the most awarded to any fantasy film.
