After awakening from a dream of Gandalf the Grey fighting the Balrog, Frodo Baggins and his friend Samwise Gamgee continue their journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring by throwing it into Mount Doom. They are attacked in the night by Gollum, former owner of the Ring, but they capture him. Sympathising with Gollum for what he perceives as their shared burden, Frodo asks Gollum to lead them safely to Mordor, despite Sams objections. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli pursue the Uruk hai who kidnapped their friends Merry and Pippin. The Uruk hai are slaughtered by the Rohirrim, army of Rohan, but the two Hobbits escape into Fangorn Forest where they meet the Ent. Treebeard. Aragorns group later meet the Rohirrim who have been banished by their king Thoden, who is being manipulated by Sarumans servant Grima Wormtongue. Tracking the Hobbits in Fangorn, Aragorns group encounter a resurrected Gandalf who perished in Moria, but was revived to help save Middle earth. Gollum leads Frodo and Sam through the Dead Marshes while evading the Nazgl. They reach the Black Gate to Mordor but Gollum stops them, saying its too risky and that there is another entrance, finding himself becoming loyal to Frodo for his kindness. The trio later are captured by the Rangers of Ithilien, led by Faramir, brother of the late Boromir. When Faramir discovers Frodo has the Ring, he intends on taking him to Gondor, capturing Gollum when Frodo exposes him. Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, and Gimli travel to Rohans capital Edoras where Gandalf releases Thoden from Sarumans power and Wormtongue is banished. Learning Saruman plans on wiping out Rohan with an army of Uruk hai, Thoden decides to move his citizens to the protection of Helms Deep, but Gandalf departs to find the Rohirrim who are led by Thodens nephew omer. Aragorn strikes up a friendship with Thodens niece owyn who quickly becomes infatuated with him. During a Warg attack, Aragorn falls off a cliff into a river, but is found by his horse and taken to Helms Deep. In Fangorn, Merry and Pippin attend an Ent council where they learn Treebeard and the others will not participate in the war. They convince them otherwise after showing them the destruction Saruman has unleashed on the forests around Isengard. The Ents storm Isengard and release the dam placed upon the nearby river, which gushes into Isengard, drowning the Uruk hai, quenching the fires of its industry, and stranding Saruman in his tower. The Uruk hai army arrive at Helms Deep, finding a makeshift army of civilians and Elves from Rivendell waiting for them. A great battle follows with Thoden losing hope until Aragorn convinces him to ride out and meet them. Gandalf and the Rohirrim arrive, turning the tide of the battle and destroying the Uruk hai. Frodo, Sam, and Gollum are taken to the fallen Gondor city Osgiliath but they are attacked by the Nazgl and Mordor army. Sam informs Faramir of how the Ring nearly drove Boromir mad, stunning Faramir. Frodo is nearly captured by the Nazgl but Sam tackles him down a flight of stairs, saving him. After the attack ends, Faramir frees the trio and sends them on their way.

However, as the two films became a trilogy under New Line, Jackson, Walsh and Boyens shuffled their scripts.
