Orcs & Ringwraiths. A fairytale for adults blown up to epic proportions, The Lord of the Rings tells how Frodo becomes heir to a magic ring that would, in the hands of Sauron the Dark Lord, give him domination over Middle-earth. A clever old wizard called Gandalf the Grey persuades Frodo to destroy the ring by carrying it to Sauron's domain of Mordor and then dropping it into the impenetrable Cracks of Doom.

Grouped like angry mosquitoes in the grey-green skies over France during World War I, a handful of meticulously reconstructed biplanes and triplanes give this ambitious battle drama its only real sting. Goggled pilots, scarves tucked into their leather daredevil jackets, scramble aloft to trigger a full-throttle facsimile of the epic aerial combats of 1918. Of course, as members of an enemy German squadron, the men in their flying machines are shown to be less than magnificent...
