The book by J.R.R. Tolkien that was adapted into a series of epic fantasy films is “The Lord of the Rings.” The film trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson, consists of “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (2001), “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” (2002), and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2003). These films are based on the classic high fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings,” which was originally published in three volumes in the mid-20th century.
