指环王1：护戒使者 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Movie Script

Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin clamber desperately towards the summit, clutching their swords.

CUT TO:

EXT. WEATHERTOP SUMMIT -- NIGHT Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin race into a RING OF BROKEN STONES on the summit or Weathertop...the ruined base of an ancient tower. The hobbits stand back-to-back in the centre of the Ring, waiting for the first assault... One by one, the 5 Ringwraiths appear...brandishing Gleaming swords, they move slowly towards the hobbits. In the center is their leader...the WITCH KING!

SAM:

Back, you devils!

Sam rushes forward with a cry. He swings his sword at the Witch King, who blocks the blow with his own sword. Sam's blade shatters...the WITCH KING lashes out with his fist, sending Sam flying. Merry and Pippin, overcome with terror, throw themselves flat on the ground. THE RINGWRAITHS close in on Frodo...a Venomous whisper dances in his head... Frodo shuts his eyes and staggers back, desperately resisting the WRAITH'S WHISPERINGS... slow motion as his hand goes into his pocket and pulls out the ring. The 5 Ringwraiths utter a chilling SCREECH OF EXCITEMENT. Frodo is unable to resist any longer, falls to his knees and slips on the ring. He disappears.

SAM (CONT'D) No!

IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD:

ANGLE ON:

Frodo finds himself in the weird twilight world...he looks upon the Ringwraiths, now visible in their TRUE APPEARANCE: Five Ghouls dressed in long Grey robes, with white hair, and Pallid, ruthless faces. THE WITCH KING extends a haggard hand towards Frodo, reaching for the ring on his finger. Frodo's trembling hand extends forward as if by the pull of the ring...he slides to the ground, unable to pull his hand away.

The witch king snarls and springs forward. He stabs at Frodo with a wicked dagger! Frodo winces as the tip of the dagger sinks into his shoulder. Suddenly, Strider charges at the RINGWRAITHS, wielding his sword in one hand, a flaming torch in the other. He moves in slow motion, visible through a sea of mist. Frodo sinks to the ground. Behind him is a faint image of a Ringwraith fleeing, his head engulfed in flames.

With draining strength, Frodo manages to pull the ring off his finger... IN THE REAL WORLD: ...Appearing back in the real world, Sam rushes over to him.

SAM (CONT'D) (horrified) Frodo!

Another Ringwraith is burning and screaming...others screech fearfully at the flames, turn and flee form the Weathertop summit.

SAM (CONT'D) (panicked) Mr. Frodo!!

Strider kneels before Frodo. He snatches up the Witch King's Dagger from the ground, staring gravely at the long, thin, blade.

SAM (CONT'D) Help him, Strider!

STRIDER:

(grim) He's been stabbed by a Morgul blade. The Morgul Blade suddenly melts...vanishing into the air like smoke. Strider throws the hilt down in disgust... (CONTINUED) 57.

SAM:

Do something.

STRIDER:

This is beyond my skill to heal.

(urgently) He needs Elvish medicine. Strider lifts Frodo onto his shoulders.

EXT. WEATHERHILLS -- NIGHT Strider is jogging grimly, carrying an ailing Frodo on his back. Sam, Merry, and Pippin are running to keep up. The hobbits are carrying Flaming torches for protection.

STRIDER:

Hurry!

SAM:

We are six days from Rivendell. Frodo groans.

STRIDER:

Hold on, Frodo.

SAM:

He'll never make it! Close on: Frodo...head lolling about, barely conscious.
