Ce film met en parallèle l'histoire du Seigneur des Anneaux avec des héros historiques ayant existé afin de montrer les sources d'inspirations possibles de Tolkien et les grands thèmes (le bien et le mal). On y découvre par exemple que Tolkien a écrit le Seigneur des Anneaux en pleine 2ème guerre mondiale alors que son fils combattait dans le nord de la France et il est donc difficile de ne pas voir dans le Mordor et Sauron le grand ennemi de l'époque.
