This is a script, 110 pages, for a feature film that I wrote together with friend of mine over a year ago. I'm posting just a synopsis, since the detailed treatment is 6 pages long, but I can email it to whoever wants it. Your feed back is highly appreciated.
Here it is:
15 years have passed since the destruction of the Ring. Aragorn reigns in Minas Tirith. Khazzar is his trusted assistant.
The kingdom is restless. Aragorn has to set raids to protect his dominion from the remainder of orcs and savages. His squad falls into a trap. Aragorn gets heavily wounded and falls into a coma. Khazzar calls Faramir to the capital and asks him to reign temporarily.
Arwen decides to go to elves that can help Aragorn. She leaves Minas Tirith in secrecy with an unconscious Aragorn. Aragorn has visions – Gandalf warns him of great danger and advises him to find the wizard Radagast the Brown.
Khazzar convinces Faramir to tell the people that their king is dead. Otherwise he threatens to spread the rumor that Faramir killed Aragorn to seize power. Khazzar sends pursuit after Arwen and, Arwen is captured. During the skirmish Aragorn regains consciousness and manages to escape.
Merry, Pippin and Sam lead a philistine life. Gandalf comes to Sam in a dream. The wizard asks him to find Aragorn.
The hobbits learn that the Kingdom is going through tough times, unknown northern tribes of people started to move south and Aragorn is either dead or missing.
Faramir, Eowyn, Arwen and her son turn to be Khazzar’s hostages. Khazzar decides to align himself with the powers previously hostile to the throne, in particular Bolg, a half-orc and half-human. Bolg gathers the remaining orcs and becomes their chief. A fleet of pirates appears in the south.
The hobbits move out of Shire. They decide to go through the magic Old Forest. They undergo the attack of the forest-dwellers there. In their escape they get to the Master of the Forest. He gives shelter to the pilgrims.
Aragorn appears in the capital city of Rohan. Éomer promises to help him. Suddenly the city is attacked by the army of orcs under Bolg’s leadership. The citizens of Rohan are fleeting the dying city. Aragorn sets forth to Rivendell.
In the ruins of Rivendell devastated by orcs, the hobbits meet Aragorn. They face death having encountered the over-exceeding enemies. At the last moment the army of gnomes appears, led by Gimli. The orcs are rebuked, Sam is captured.
Aragorn, Elladan and Elrohir, Gimli and hobbits set off to ask the Grey Elves of Esgaroth and the Lonely Mountain people for help.
The White Council is summoned in Esgaroth. Aragorn’s allies cannot help the king: combative northerners will soon approach the borders. The unknown horror banished them off their lands.
Aragorn goes north to find out the reason of the Great migration and to find Radagast.
Eowyn and Faramir secretly convince the inhabitants to leave the city.
Bolg meets Khazzar. Khazzar orders Bolg to find and kill the king.
Faramir and Eowyn escape from Minas Tirith.
Khazzar tries to find common ground with little Eldarion. He tells Arwen that he is going to persuade the prince to choose the immortal elvish fate by becoming an Eternal king on the throne of Gondor.
Eldarion by chance finds his way to Sam who is languishing in a dungeon. They get to know each other.
Eowyn finds herself in Esgaroth. Having learned about the danger that threatens Aragorn, the hobbits take to the road.
Aragorn is captured by the tribe of hulgs. Hulg’s king Hador arranges a battle for Aragorn with one of his tribe’s warrior. Aragorn wins and earns respect among hulgs.

Orcs overtake Aragorn and Radagast. There appears Hador and his warriors –the hobbits persuaded the king of hulgs to help Aragorn. Orcs are defeated.
Bolg meets Orn, the last dragon of the Middle-earth. The dragon is the force that made northerners leave their lands. Orn tells Bolg, that since the destruction of the Ring, he, heretofore being immortal, is now growing old. Bolg asks the dragon to enter into an alliance with Khazzar.
Aragorn, Hador and Radagast get to a ruined city on the shore of the northern sea. The dragon appears, destroys the ships and kills Hador’s people.
