An alliance of men and elves battle Saurons forces in Mordor, where Isildur kills Sauron by chopping off the hand wearing the One Ring.

This decision leads to Isildurs being killed by Orcs, and the ring is lost in the river Anduin for 2500 years. It comes into the possession of Smagol who is consumed by its power and becomes Gollum. After 500 years the ring abandons him, to be discovered by a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins.Sixty years later, Bilbo celebrates his 111th birthday and is visited by his friend Gandalf the Grey. Bilbo reveals he intends to leave the Shire to stay with the elves of Rivendell, and leave his inheritance to his nephew Frodo. Gandalf convinces Bilbo to leave the One Ring for Frodo. Concerned about Bilbos ring, Gandalf investigates and discovers it is the One Ring. He warns Frodo and says it retains the evil of Saurons spirit. Unfortunately Gollum, who has been captured by Saurons orcs, reveals Bilbo might have the ring. Gandalf catches Samwise Gamgee, Frodos friend, overhearing the details of true nature of the ring. He forces Sam to accompany Frodo to the village of Bree in a plan to keep the ring safe. Gandalf goes to Isengard to get advice from Saruman the White, where he learns Sauron has unleashed the Ringwraiths to retrieve the Ring. Saruman reveals his allegiance to Sauron, and imprisons Gandalf on the roof of his tower Orthanc. ........
