The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is the third and final film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's famous books. In this Special Extended DVD Edition, director Peter Jackson and his sensational cast and crew have masterfully reinvented the crown jewel of this legendary trilogy of films.

To create this extended edition of the film, Jackson and his editors didn't simply cobble on scenes that were cut from the original production. They approached this new version of the film as if they were creating the film for the very first time.

In addition, over 350 new effects shots were incorporated into this new version. And as with The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, Howard Shore composed additional music specifically for the added footage.

The culmination of the vast and varied features of this extended edition results in a longer, deeper and more detailed journey into Middle-earth than ever before. This is certain to excite newcomers to The Return of the King as well as satisfy devoted fans of the film trilogy who will experience a rich, extended final adventure.
