The Gate

Two hobbits, Frodo and Sam, lie prone behind a rock, peering over it with expressions of shock and fear at a distant scene. In the background, large, monstrous creatures pull a massive, spiked wooden gate across a dark, fortified bridge, while two small figures in armor stand on the bridge below. The scene cuts to a close-up of the two hobbits, their faces showing terror as they watch the creatures and the gate. The sequence ends with a view of the massive, dark, spiked gate closing.
