The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a 2001 epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson based on the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (1954–1955). It was followed by The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003), based on the second and third volumes of The Lord of the Rings.
New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson fulfills his lifelong dream of transforming author J.R.R. Tolkien's best-selling fantasy epic into a three-part motion picture that begins with this holiday 2001 release. Elijah Wood stars as Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit resident of the medieval "Middle-earth" who discovers that a ring bequeathed to him by beloved relative and benefactor Bilbo (Ian Holm) is in fact the "One Ring", a device that will allow its master to manipulate dark powers and enslave the world. Frodo is charged by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to return the ring to Mount Doom, the evil site where it was forged millennia ago and the only place where it can be destroyed. Accompanying Frodo is a fellowship of eight others: his Hobbit friends Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monaghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); plus Gandalf; the human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); Elf archer Legolas (Orlando Bloom); and Dwarf soldier Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). The band's odyssey to the dreaded land of Mordor, where Mount Doom lies, takes them through the Elfish domain of Rivendell and the forest of Lothlorien, where they receive aid and comfort from the Elf princess Arwen (Liv Tyler), her father, Elrond (Hugo Weaving), and Queen Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). In pursuit of the travelers and their ring are Saruman (Christopher Lee)—a traitorous wizard and kin, of sorts, to Gandalf—and the Dark Riders, under the control of the evil, mysterious Sauron (Sala Baker). The Fellowship must also do battle with a troll, flying spies, Orcs, and other deadly obstacles both natural and otherwise as they draw closer to Mordor. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was filmed in Jackson's native New Zealand.
Released on 10 December 2001, the film was highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike, especially as many of the latter judged it to be the most sufficiently faithful adaptation of the original story out of Jackson's film series. It was a major box office success, earning over $870 million worldwide, and the second highest-grossing film of 2001 in the U.S. and worldwide (behind Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) which made it the fifth highest-grossing film ever at the time.
In 2002, the film won four Academy Awards out of thirteen nominations. The winning categories were for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Original Score. Despite its praise by fans, the other nominated categories of Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Ian McKellen), Best Art Direction, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Original Song (Enya, Nicky Ryan and Roma Ryan for "May It Be"), Best Picture, Best Sound (Christopher Boyes, Michael Semanick, Gethin Creagh and Hammond Peek), Costume Design and Best Adapted Screenplay were not won.

劇情簡(jiǎn)介
比爾博·巴金斯是一位100多歲的哈比人,住在夏爾,喜歡冒險(xiǎn)。年輕時(shí)的一次探險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷中,他意外地從怪物咕嚕手中得到了一枚戒指,這枚戒指是黑暗魔君索倫打造的至尊魔戒,擁有奴役世界的邪惡力量,能夠統(tǒng)領(lǐng)其他幾枚力量之戒。在3000年前的人類聯(lián)盟與半獸人大軍的戰(zhàn)役中,聯(lián)盟取得了勝利,并得到了至尊魔戒,數(shù)千年的輾轉(zhuǎn)后,魔戒落到咕嚕手中。
雖然和魔戒朝夕相處,但他仍然和幾十年前撿到魔戒時(shí)一樣沒(méi)有絲毫變化,不過(guò)哈比族人與世無(wú)爭(zhēng)的天性使他對(duì)紛紛擾擾的世事早已厭倦。在他111歲的生日宴會(huì)上,他決定把一切都留給侄子佛羅多(伊利亞·伍德 飾),自己將去找個(gè)清靜的地方完成自己的自傳。
比爾博的好朋友灰袍巫師甘道夫(伊恩·麥凱倫 飾)在研究很多書(shū)籍之后,知道至尊魔戒的秘密,也知道它擁有邪惡的力量。同時(shí),黑暗魔君索倫已經(jīng)知道他的魔戒落在哈比族的手中。索倫正在重新建造要塞巴拉多,集結(jié)無(wú)數(shù)的半獸人,準(zhǔn)備奪取魔戒,并且征服全世界。
甘道夫把魔戒的秘密告訴了佛羅多,并說(shuō)服佛羅多將魔戒護(hù)送到精靈王國(guó)瑞文希爾,佛羅多在好朋友山姆、皮平和梅利的陪同下,在躍馬旅店得到了剛鐸王子阿拉貢的幫助,歷經(jīng)千辛萬(wàn)苦,終于到達(dá)了精靈王國(guó)。
然而,精靈族并不愿意保管這個(gè)邪惡的至尊魔戒,中土各國(guó)代表開(kāi)會(huì)討論,達(dá)成意見(jiàn),準(zhǔn)備將至尊魔戒送到末日山脈的烈焰中徹底銷毀。佛羅多挺身而出接受了這個(gè)任務(wù),這次,陪伴他的除了三個(gè)好朋友,還有甘道夫、阿拉貢、精靈萊戈拉斯(奧蘭多·布魯姆 飾)、人類博羅米爾、侏儒金利。
一路上,魔戒遠(yuǎn)征軍除了要逃避索倫爪牙黑騎士和半獸人的追殺之外,還要抵抗至尊魔界本身的邪惡誘惑,任務(wù)困難重重。
制作花絮
維戈·莫特森在拍攝打戲時(shí)把一顆牙打掉了。他中午去補(bǔ)上了牙,下午又回來(lái)繼續(xù)工作了。
維戈·莫特森堅(jiān)持不用替身,并且在打斗場(chǎng)面中使用真的鐵劍。奧蘭多·布魯姆大部分特技鏡頭也是自己完成的,在拍攝期間還斷了一條肋骨。
在影片開(kāi)拍前,新西蘭一個(gè)毛利部落的長(zhǎng)老為攝制組舉行了宗教儀式,祝福拍攝工作順利完成。
影片拍攝中涉及到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)場(chǎng)面時(shí),導(dǎo)演本想從新西蘭軍隊(duì)征用15000名群眾演員,沒(méi)想到當(dāng)時(shí)士兵們都被派到東帝汶平息當(dāng)?shù)氐膬?nèi)戰(zhàn)去了。導(dǎo)演只好到處張貼廣告,招募會(huì)騎馬的年輕人充當(dāng)臨時(shí)演員。
由于片中許多演員都要穿戴盔甲,制作盔甲和相關(guān)服飾成了一個(gè)棘手的任務(wù)。幸虧惠靈頓一個(gè)編制俱樂(lè)部的老大媽們幫忙縫制盔甲內(nèi)的罩衫,才替劇組解了圍。
奧蘭多·布魯姆花了2個(gè)月來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)射箭。
