The power-hungry businesswizard Sarumom has been defeated, and Helm's Crap saved. Still, the main battle is yet to come. The evil administrator of Mordor Sauron sends out his armies to wipe out Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor. It is ruled by Denethor the noble Steward of Gondor. And he is more interested in his delicious food and wines than in his son Faramir. Frodo and Sam have to deal with ruthless Gollum who is trying to lay his hands on the Precious....
The third part of the TOTR trilogy is the most extensive and massive part - like Peter Jackson's original. Battle scenes are more elaborated, sets are more pompous, and in the Coronation scene of Aragorn more than 100 extras have been taking part. Apart from that, more than 6 original songs have been written for this part.
Minas Tirith has been filmed at the overwhelming main building of the Moscow State University (MGU) during the summer holidays. MGUs corridors already had served as the caves of Moria in Part 1. The Crack of Doom was filmed at an abandoned subway station "Leninskie Gory", a truly spooky place.
