19. “Get off the Road!” (The Fellowship of the Ring)

Early in their journey, Frodo and the hobbits hide from a Nazgûl under the twisted roots of a tree. The Nazgûl’s eerie presence, marked by the sound of hooves and sniffing for the Ring, establishes the overwhelming danger they face. This scene captures the suffocating fear and tension that follows the Ring-bearer throughout the trilogy. It serves as the audience’s first close look at the terror of Sauron’s servants. The moment also reinforces the need for stealth and caution in Frodo’s perilous journey.
