A new version of the final installment in the epic trilogy! The
WINNER of 11 Academy Awards including BEST PICTURE is now 50 minutes
longer! This extended version of the epic conclusion of "The
Lord of the Rings" trilogy includes new score by Howard Shore
and over 350 new digital effects shots. The once-great kingdom,
watched over by a fading steward, has never been in more desperate
need of its king. But can Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) answer the call
of his heritage and become what he was born to be? In no small measure,
the fate of Middle-earth rests on his broad shoulders.
