Plot



The film covers quite faithfully the events of the first half of 'The Fellowship of the Ring', starting with Bilbo's birthday party and ending with the fellowship leaving Rivendell.

Unlike in Peter Jackson's adaptation, the journey of the hobbits to Bree includes their encounters with Old Man Willow and Tom Bombadil. Moreover, Glorfindel and his horse Asfaloth are depicted during the attack of the Black Riders. On the other hand, the character of Boromir is absent from Elrond's council.
