A scene from The Lord of the Rings 1978
Narrator

Beyond the furthest reaches of the imagination, and deep within the human heart, here, in a time when the world was young, in what is known as the third age of Middle Earth, a tale is told of deeds and beings. A tale of a day when a great shadow will fall across the Earth, and ancient sorcerers were locked in mortal combat with the phantoms of the night. Then will the raging war of the rings draw the blood of heroes, and the final destiny of all mankind will be written. Then will mortal men, dwarf lords and elven princes come to stand together in a single noble army and thunder against all the hosts of darkness at the very gates of doom. This is the legend of Middle Earth, as it is written in the hearts of men. It is a world more real than any other. A haunting, forbidden world, where innocence can overcome evil, and a single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities. This is the magnificent gift that J.R.R. Tolkien left to the human heart, and that Fantasy Films now brings to the screen. The vision beyond imagination. The Lord of the Rings.
