The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
One ring to rule them all.
Young hobbit Frodo Baggins, after inheriting a mysterious ring from his uncle Bilbo, must leave his home in order to keep it from falling into the hands of its evil creator. Along the way, a fellowship is formed to protect the ringbearer and make sure that the ring arrives at its final destination: Mt. Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E13 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing power, prejudice, war, faith, tradition.
