Introduction:
Sauron, the ruler of Mordor in The Lord of The Rings series has taken over most of Middle-Earth. Staying in his castle in Mordor appearing as an eye of fire. His one goal…to gain the One ring back, the ring containing most of his power. Everyone knows the story of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins but what about Sauron himself, how did he get to be? Another movie could contain all the answers to our questions in a cinematic masterpiece continuing the legacy of this J.R.R. Tolkien series.
The Start of Time:
The movie starts introducing the Ainur, angelic creatures created by the High being. Eventually some Ainur become Valar, Sauron, Gandalf, Saruman and more being apart of this group of beings. Mairon (Sauron) initially wants to do good within the world by increasing efficiency and eliminating confusion. Explaining the creation of Middle-Earth and the beginning of time for this tale.
The Destruction of Gorthaur the Cruel:
Moving on we delve into how Sauron started to become evil and the influence of Morgoth. In a hard fought battle known as the First War, the Valar are put against the evils of Morgoth. The battle will be shown in the movie using Sauron's perspective to tell the tale. Eventually Morgoth's influence is too much for Sauron causing him to turn evil. The movie takes a turn as it displays some of the nefarious deeds of Sauron's life and shows him rise in the ranks of the demonic army. Telling the tale of Gorthaur the Cruel. It takes you into the mind of someone who wants to control and rule Middle-Earth. Sauron has already turned evil but this is only the start of his nefarious history.

The First Age:
This takes us into the First Age where the elves and Morgoth's army feud countless times. Sauron proves his worth by leading squadrons into battle against the elves, ending with many victories. The viewers are taken through countless battles and the importance of Sauron in keeping power over the elves and winning countless battles during the war. He proceeds to fight in the most important battle of the First Age against Huan, the greatest hound to ever live. This is the one battle he loses under Morgoth and is forced to surrender to their forces. The fight against Huan is highlighted, showing the advanced combat skills of Sauron as he goes strike for strike with this astounding hound. This epic cinematic battle will have viewers asking for more! It is shown how Sauron is imprisoned, and Morgoth is defeated in battle. Due to this death, Sauron changes his appearance and attempts to repent for his evil deeds. He is going to be taken to the Valar so they can decide his fate causing him to run away into hiding. This event leads us into the Second Age where he will make his return.
The Return of Sauron and the Rings of Power:
Time has gone by and the elves and men in Middle-Earth are the most powerful they have ever been. We are introduced to Mordor as this is when he first settles down within the lava stronghold. Sauron takes on the alias of Annatar, the Lord of Gifts and uses his new appearance to befriend the elves and live without worrying of feuds. Time goes on and he meets an elven craftsman known as Celebrimbor. Sauron sees the opportunity and works with Celebrimbor to start forging the Rings of Power. Creating the nine rings for mortal and the seven rings for dwarfs. Celebrimbor proceeds to create the 3 great elven rings while Sauron heads back to Mordor to forge the One Ring. He plots to use the One Ring to control all the other ring bearers. However, his plan backfires as the elves bearing the elven rings are alerted of the danger and hide the rings. Due to his failure he opts to build an evil army and seek out all the rings, successfully gathering many but never finding any of the elven rings. Sauron pushes the elven army back and is close to victory when an army descended of the foes in the First Age war join the fight and turn the tides to halt the fight.

Sauron and the Númenóreans:
Sauron is still ruler of most of Middle-Earth at this point in time. With most of the land, most of the rings, and a secure homebase in Mordor it seems like he has won. His tyranny continues as he spreads the rings creating the Black Riders and conquering more land. His peak of ruling over Middle-Earth known as the Black Years. With his power and many people worshipping him as a god, he figures that he has won over all of Middle-Earth…Except he could not be more wrong. The Númenóreans (army that helped elves in detrimental fight) return and due to their shear strength, Sauron's army abandons him. He surrenders to them and manipulates them gaining power on their island. He convinces their king that they can achieve immortality by attacking the Valar. Sauron's evil plotting and influence successfully works but Ilúvatar the highest being sinks their ships ruining the plan.
The Defeat Before The Lord of the Rings:
Sauron returns to Middle-Earth weakened forced to don an evil appearance, the one we all know all too well. While he is building up his army once again, some of the surviving Númenóreans create two kingdoms Gondor and Arnor. The Last Alliance of Elves and Men attack and defeat Sauron in an epic battle. Elrond and Isildur fight in this battle, a battle which would be highlighted in the movie as the biggest one yet. In a tough battle the elves and men win after cutting Sauron's finger off and stealing the One Ring. He goes into hiding once again and after much time leads to his place in The Lord of the Rings where he sits in his tower in Mordor as an eye.

Movie Final Product:
I hope this movie would cover the whole history of Sauron before he reaches the Third Age in The Lord of the Rings series. It can contain many moments of character development and learning more about the character of Sauron as a whole. It delves deeper into his motives and all the events he went through to get to the Third Age. It would also be full of lots of action to keep the viewers engaged as there are many battles and wars that occur during these periods. I also hope it would answer any questions that people have about Sauron's past. I believe this could be another sensational movie. It would also be cool to see Sauron have an actual form instead of primarily being shown as a flaming eye.
Concluding:
I do not know if all of this would fit in one movie or be split into two but either way this would be a great movie(s). It would be very successful at the Box Office due to the continuous popularity of this J.R.R. Tolkien series. Its one of the series' that adults who have read the books or watched the movies will introduce their children to the series. A lingering question to the many people who have only watched the Lord of the Rings & Hobbit movies would be how Sauron came to be. Even in some of the other books not all of the details are mentioned about his past. My information is mostly based off of The Silmarillion book. Overall, the success of the past movies would definitely bring this movie to light even decades past the original movie releases. I hope the tale of Sauron is told in a movie one day!
