Tolkien’s «The Lord of the Rings.» He appears in the film «The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,» directed by Peter Jackson and released in 2001. Lurtz is not a character from Tolkien’s original works, but he was introduced to add extra tension and conflict to the story. Here are some key details about Lurtz:
1. **Appearance:** Lurtz is a Uruk-hai, a crossbreed of orcs and men, created by the dark wizard Saruman in the film adaptation. He is larger and stronger than typical orcs and has distinct pale skin, sharp teeth, and a fearsome appearance.

4. **Film Adaptation:** While Lurtz is not a character from Tolkien’s original books, his inclusion in the film adaptation helped to create a more immediate and menacing antagonist for the first movie in the «Lord of the Rings» trilogy.
5. **Cultural Impact:** Lurtz has become a recognizable character among fans of the film series. Despite not being part of the original Tolkien lore, he has been featured in various video games, collectibles, and other merchandise related to «The Lord of the Rings.»
