(Peter Jackson, New Zealand/US 2002, 179 min., 35mm)

Peter Jackson’s epic adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s trilogy continues with the second installment of hobbit Frodo Baggins’s perilous journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring and defeat Sauron’s plans to dominate Middle Earth. Intercut with Frodo’s trials and tribulations are his comrades’ journeys to Rohan and Isengard leading to the first battles of the War of the Ring. Originally scripted as the ending of The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers grew into its own film during production. A monumental undertaking, Jackson’s Lord of the Rings captured the imagination of another generation of fantasy fans and inspired other filmmakers to work in the same way.

About This Series

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy at 20

Two decades ago, one of the greatest experiments in cinema history was released. J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings was adapted by director Peter Jackson and co-screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. This sprawling fantasy was filmed back-to-back over fourteen months with a budget of nearly $300 million from production company New Line Cinema and was released as three epic films during December of three consecutive years.
