Friday and Saturday, March 28th and 29th, we will be concluding our month-long celebration of the film adaptations of J.R.R Tolkien’s unforgettable fantasy series at the historic Babcock Theatre with two special EXTENDED EDITION screenings of Peter Jackson monumental 2003 film, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING! The climactic conclusion to the massive trilogy of THE LORD OF THE RINGS adaptations, THE RETURN OF THE KING is one final, epic hurrah as the quest to deliver the One Ring to Mordor comes to a close! Clocking in at nearly four hours long, THE RETURN OF THE KING treats the viewer to a seemingly endless feast of huge battles on a wide scale, incredible creature design, practical effects, special effects, fight choreography, and an incredibly talented cast of actors giving a wide array of emotions, ultimately creating a final product that is widely regarded as one of the very best fantasy films of all time!
As multiples armies come together on the sides of good and evil for a major war that will decide the fate of the world, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine an outcome. A key member of the fellowship of the ring is revealed to be the heir of the throne to the Kings of Men, but the sole hope for humanity ultimately falls into the hands of Frodo, the young hobbit who has been venturing further into Mordor in order to deliver the One Ring to Mount Doom so it may be destroyed forever
