Fathom’s complete schedule for the “Lord Of The Rings” Trilogy is as follows: 

The Fellowship of the Ring” Extended Edition—Sat., June 8 

In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival—or enslavement—of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves. 

The Two Towers” Extended Edition—Sun., June 9 

In the part second of the Tolkien trilogy, Frodo Baggins and the other members of the Fellowship continue on their sacred quest to destroy the One Ring—but on separate paths. Their destinies lie at two towers—Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupt wizard Saruman awaits, and Sauron’s fortress at Barad-dur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor. 

The Return Of The King” Extended Edition—Mon., June 10 

In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world—and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome—one member of the Fellowship Of The Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings Of Men. Yet the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power. 

This landmark franchise won a combined 17 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture honors for “The Return Of The King” and Best Director for Peter Jackson; and boasts groundbreaking effects, sets, and costumes, fueled by a star-studded ensemble featuring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Sean Astin, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Hugo Weaving, John Rhys-Davies, and Brad Dourif, among others.
