Which Tolkien work features the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and won the Best Picture Oscar?

• A. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
• B. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
• C. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
• D. The Silmarillion

Answer: (B)

The Battle of the Pelennor Fields occurs in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the final film in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Tolkien’s saga. This movie delivers the climactic defense of Minas Tirith against Sauron’s forces, making it the story moment most closely associated with that battle. It also earned the Best Picture Oscar, sweeping the top award at the Academy Awards. The other options don’t feature this specific battle: The Hobbit follows a separate prequel tale; The Two Towers covers different battles like Helm’s Deep; The Silmarillion is a mythology collection and isn’t a film that won Best Picture. So this film uniquely matches both parts of the question.
