History
On boats from Galadriel, the fellowship paddles along the Anduin. This was after over a week of their departure from Lothlorien. As they reach Amon Hen, they take a break. While weighing options, Frodo's magical sword, also known as Sting, lights up. This symbolizes peril and that the enemy is nearby. Frodo chooses which path to take next. One option is to go to Minas Tirith towards the west, together with Boromir. This is intending to overthrow Sauron. The idea is to have access to help from Gondor. Another one is going to Morodor on the east riverside. For Boromir, opting for a secure path would be better to go through Gondor. Although unfamiliar with what the One Ring can do, he deems that it would be of good use to Gondor.
He believes that the ring's force would defeat Sauron. Aragon shows an unwillingness to bring the ring within Minas Tirith. This is because of the distrust towards Denethor and his followers. Frodo goes along and stops at the Falls of Rauros and a riverbank. Boromir joins him. Boromir gives counsel despite Galadriel providing Frodo precaution before this. Galadriel tells about his friends turning their backs on him. With a hostile voice, Boromir says that the ring should be a weapon against Sauron. Destroying the ring is not a good idea. Boromir somehow lures Frodo with his words.
The bottom line is, he still wants the easy way. He then requests Frodo to give him the ring. Of course, Frodo declines this. So in anger, Boromir attempts to take it by force. Yet, Frodo puts the ring on his finger. He then flees and vanishes. This makes him cry and plead Frodo to return. Yet, it is too late. Frodo realizes that this is the ring's impact on his fellows. The effect will abolish them. The decision to go on with the Quest and travels to Mordor by himself begins. This is because he does not wish them to be in danger while with him. While on the boat, Sam tells Frodo that he hopes to go with him. Frodo stops him but he reaches out, despite not knowing how to swim. As Frodo takes off the ring, he forces himself to save him. This is where their trip to Mordor begins. This marks the end of the Fellowship of Rings. Aragorn gets bothered since Frodo is taking a while. The search for Frodo comes as the Two Towers open.
Everyone hears the horn of Boromir with the voices of Orcs. This means Frodo is crying for help. With Boromir lying on a tree with dead Orcs around, Aragorn finds him. Shot with many arrows, Boromir tells Aragorn no one has to defeat Minas Tirith. Sam, Pippin, Merry, and the Hobbits go to the forest. This is in the hope of seeing Frodo. Boromir informs Aragorn that the Orcs (Uruk-hai) captured the Hobbits already. Aragorn sees that one of the boats has gone missing. He guesses that Sam and Frodo went to Mordor on their own. There was no other way but for the Three Hunters (Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn) to think they should run after Sam and Frodo. Another option is to chase Uruk-hai so they can save Pippin and Merry. Later on, Aragorn realizes that the Ringbearer's destiny was not on him. He rejected giving up on Pippin and Merry, even with the threats of bane and death. This encouraged him to chase the two.

Portrayal in Adaptation
Films
Ralph Bakshi [1] has his interpretation of the story. Boromir finds Frodo in his place of thought. He faces Frodo as he speaks about what distresses him. Once again, Boromir gives words of wisdom but Frodo is already familiar with this style. As usual, Boromir wants the ring to protect Minas Tirith. Frodo then decides to destroy the ring. The thought irritates Boromir. Yet, Frodo warns him that all the ring touches become wicked. Boromir is still in disbelief and decides to borrow the ring instead. But Frodo does not allow him. Frodo decides to escape. Boromir blames and calls him a conspirator. Soon, Boromir heads back to Aragorn with his companions. He gets interrogated. He also admits what he did to Frodo. Hearing all these, Sam begins looking for Frodo. Aragorn makes an effort to manage governance, requesting Gimli and Legolas to put a stop to this. Aragorn tells Bormomir to guard Pippin and Merry.
It seems that the Orcs band tried to get a hold of the Halflings. Here, Boromir comes, stays in battle, and tries to slain many. However, it was not all possible since he was shot. This time, they manage to catch the hobbits too. Unfortunately, Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn's rescue are not on time. Boromir informs Aragorn that he attempted to take the ring. He too pleads Aragorn to see Minas Tirith as he needs to rescue his people. In the movie, Peter Jackson shows that the Uruk-Hai Scouts trap the Fellowship. Lurtz leads the group. As expected, both camps clashed in several locations. Pippin, Merry, and Boromir get into battle too towards the south. Frodo flees. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli fight for themselves. With chaos all over, Boromir gets help by sounding his horn. Aragorn attempts to help but Lurtz does not let this pass. He then is shot. The Uruk Hai Bow arrows injure him. Both managed to kill Lurtz. With his arm cut, chest pierced and head severed, he dies.
