Quick recap
Gollum turns Frodo against Sam, leading him into Shelob's lair. Sam saves Frodo from the orcs and they press on to Mount Doom. Pippin looks into the palantír, and Gandalf takes him to Minas Tirith, where Denethor loses his mind. The beacons are lit, and Rohan rides to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Éowyn and Merry bring down the Witch-king. Aragorn brings the Army of the Dead, then marches on the Black Gate to distract Sauron. At the Cracks of Doom, Frodo can't let go of the Ring; Gollum bites off his finger and falls into the lava with it. Sauron is destroyed, eagles rescue the hobbits and Aragorn is crowned king. Years later, Frodo sails from the Grey Havens with Bilbo and Gandalf.
