When The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released in 2001, it was a worldwide success and cultural phenomenon. While J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novels had been beloved for decades, no one could have prepared for the movie’s scale. Now, audiences can witness some of the first book’s most epic and darkest battles, including the cave troll battle in the mines of Moria and the epic standoff between Gandalf the Grey and the Balrog. But even the film’s most monumental moment, where Gandalf says his most iconic line, wasn’t immune to the occasional blooper.Gandalf’s battle with the Balrog was more than just a physical altercation. Its sheer power and scale were enough to terrify the powerful wizard. Nevertheless, he knew the importance of the quest he and the Fellowship were on, and he fought until his last breath to keep Frodo and the others safe. This even meant creating a wall between them and the Balrog with his own might and magic.J.R.R. Tolkien describes the origins and history of the Balrog in his Appendices to The Lord of the Rings and in works such as The Silmarillion. Both Gandalf and the Balrog started out as Maiar, powerful spirits akin to angels who helped create the world of Middle-earth. The Balrog and his kind fell from grace when they aligned with Morgoth — the evil spirit who preceded Sauron — and became demons of flame and shadow. They fought alongside Morgoth in the War of Wrath against Elves and Men, which brought an end to The First Age of Middle-earth. (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 1, Episode 1, “The Shadow of the Past” shows a version of The War of Wrath in its opening scenes.)
