This documentary shows how, after 50 years, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings sustains its appeal with millions of fans, old and new. Moving beyond "cult classic" and over several different generations, the film unearths countless people gathered under the banner of "Ringer" -- academics, musicians, movie stars, authors, filmmakers and a plethora of pop junkies. From the hippie counter-culture to the electronic age, from the Bakshi animated film to Peter Jackson's epic trilogy, this film brings together extensive footage from across three continents to capture the most energetic The Lord of the Rings fans and events. Celebrity interviewees include Peter Jackson, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Clive Barker and David Carradine. Produced and directed by Carlene Cordova.
