Who directed The Lord of the Rings movies?

The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy was directed by Peter Jackson, a New Zealand filmmaker. Jackson directed all three movies: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003).

Jackson and his team spent eight years creating the three movies, which were shot back-to-back in New Zealand. The movies were based on the epic fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, and are considered to be one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time. The movies won a combined 17 Academy Awards, including Best Picture for The Return of the King.
