Among the guests are his nephew Frodo Baggins, troublemakers Merry and Pippen, Frodo's gardener and best friend Samwise, and the wizard Gandalf, who had accompanied Bilbo on an adventure some years before. At the party, Biblo reveals that he has a magic ring that makes the wearer invisible, and that he is leaving the Shire for good. Galdalf, sensing someone is wrong, believes that Bilbo's ring might in fact be The One Ring -- a item of incredible magic power. Through a series of events, Frodo comes into possession of the ring, and Gandalf bids him to head out of the Shire to a nearby hamlet, where he will meet them.
Finding that the evil Lord Sauron now knows his ring has been located, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippen head for safety, where they meet Aragorn, known as Strider, a ranger from north who has been charged with the protection of the ring until such time as it can be destroyed. With the hobbits in tow, Aragorn leads them to Rivendell, the location of the Last Homely House, owned by Elrond, a powerful Elf.
There Elrond hold a council to determine the fate of the ring, and it is decided that a Fellowship must be formed to carry the ring into Mordor, the enemy's territory, and throw it into the volcano where it was forged. The hobbits, Gandalf, and Aragorn are joined by Gimli the dwarf, Legolas the elf, and Boromir of Gondor. Facing troubles in their journey, the Fellowship experiences deaths and betrayal, leaving the party split into three at the end of the first film, setting up separate paths for the characters in The Two Towers.
