The first chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy narrates that in ancient times the perfidious Dark Lord Sauron (Sala Baker) forged a Ring of Power to rule over the lands of Middle Earth. But the Ring was stolen, and Sauron thought it to be lost for ever.
Many ages later, the Ruling Ring fell into the hands of the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm), and then was inherited by his nephew Frodo (Elijah Wood).
