The breaking of the fellowship in this darkly dramatic sequel, with Frodo and Sam heading towards Mordor on their creepily dangerous mission to destroy the One Ring – aided, yet at the same time thwarted, by treacherous Gollum. In the meantime, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are in Rohan assisting the Rohan people to fight against Saruman's forces. As the shadow of Sauron lengthens, the companions are plunged into unimaginable trials and choices. Meanwhile, the ways they go are dangerous, but friendship and kinship lights those places with the good, which is opposite to evil. This tale is a testament to courage, loyalty, and the enduring hope that darkness can be overcome.
