Lurtz is an Uruk-hai warrior created for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, where he serves as the first and largest of Saruman's Uruk-hai and the commander of the scouts sent to hunt the Fellowship. Bred at Isengard and fanatically loyal to Saruman, he leads the first battalion of Uruk-hai against the Fellowship at Amon Hen.
In the film he mortally wounds Boromir with his longbow before being slain in single combat by Aragorn. Lurtz was portrayed by Lawrence Makoare and is non-canonical, having no counterpart in Tolkien's books. Chronological details appear in the Timeline. Content is available under CC BY-SA.
