Lord of the Rings
At the end of his one hundred and eleventh birthday, Bilbo Baggins mysteriously disappears, or so he citizens of Hobbiton had thought. Bilbo merely slipped his most prized possession on his finger; a golden ring that he won through a game of riddles from the creature Gollum, nearly sixty years before. Being of special powers unknown to Bilbo except for it being able to transform him invisible, the ring was used occasionally and kept at his house in Bag End. After Bilbo slips away from the crowd he gets his belongings and leaves for Rivendell, an ancient Elvish residency. Bilbo therefore leaves his house at Bag End to his nephew Frodo, along with most of his possessions, including the ring, although this is no ordinary ring. This is a ring of power. A ring in which only the Dark Lord Sauron can use to obtain its fullest capacity. On the ring, in elvish script it is written: "One ring to rule them all. One ring to bind them. One ring to find them all, and in the darkness bind them." With this ring Sauron can mold all of Middle-Earth to his will. Middle-Earth would be an extremely dark and dangerous place. It is up to Frodo, along with eight other companions to take a journey to the fiery depths of Mount Doom to cast the
Gandalf the Grey, the wandering wizard as he is known to the hobbits in the Shire, is one of two wizards in this movie.

Gandalf has a very kind face and disposition to go along with a compassionate heart. He turns down the chance to be the keeper of the ring, inevitabley stopping an even greater power from ruling than even the Dark Lord could let loose. Gandalf rarely changes as the movie goes on but remains constant in his intentions to destroy the ring. ring into the fiery chasm whence it came and destroy evil from enduring forever. Of the nine companions, one has a part that will compel him to be the king of men in Middle-Earth, if the one ring and the Dark Lord are destroyed.
