The Ring Thing

2004 · 80 min Comedy
5.1 / 10 · TMDB

All Friedrich wanted was to propose to Heidi, his supervisor, on a business trip. But while rehearsing on an airplane toilet, he and his ring drop out into the sky over the alps. Only to land in a very strange fairytale world. Come to find out, Middle Earth is right in the heart of Switzerland! To make matters worse, the quirky inhabitants mistake Friedrich for Frido the Tellyhobbie. Before he can say Tolkien, he‘s on a mission to save the world from an evil wizard who wants to dip the whole planet in one huge sizzling Swiss cheese fondue. A mission so crazy… it just might wake the hero in him. A spoof of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy set in Switzerland.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Ring Thing is an acquired taste at 5.1/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2004 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
