The Fellowship of the Ring Scene 8 Summary

  • We're in Mordor and can hear the screams of Gollum as he's being tortured. He says "Shire" and "Baggins." Dark cloaked horsemen ride forth from the gates.
  • Gandalf approaches Mordor and sees the fires stirring within.
  • He rides to an old library of sorts in the city of Minas Tirath (foreshadowing for the third movie) where he searches for information on the ring. He comes across a manuscript written by Isildur himself, describing markings appearing on the ring when it is heated.
