"A masterpiece.." - Daily Mail

Finally the extended version of Peter Jackson's Middle Earth epic arrives on DVD in the 4-Disc extended version. Weighing in at a butt-numbing 250 minutes in length it now includes over 50 minutes of brand spanking new footage.

The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the ring bearer may complete his quest.

Winner of 11 Academy Awards.
