in peter jackson's "the lord of the rings" film trilogy, boromir is played by sean bean. in a departure from the structure of tolkien's book, boromir's death is shown at the end of "" (2001), instead of being related at the beginning of "the two towers". in the film, boromir is mortally wounded by three large arrows fired by the uruk-hai leader lurtz, a character created for the films, instead of by numerous arrows from orcs led by uglúk. he is found by aragorn, who slays lurtz before the latter can deal a final blow to boromir.

in "" (2002), boromir appears in the theatrical version only briefly during the beginning flashback sequence of gandalf's fight with the balrog in moria. the extended edition adds two additional flashbacks: first when faramir remembers finding boromir's body and his cloven horn in the elven boat washed up on shore; and in considerably longer flashback (the only scene of the film trilogy where boromir and faramir are seen speaking to each other), after boromir's victory in osgiliath and before his departure for rivendell. the two brothers are seen celebrating and laughing before their father interrupts, asking him to go to rivendell to seek the one ring, and the scene ends as boromir leaves, saying to faramir, "remember today, little brother". here boromir apparently knows that "isildur's bane" is the one ring, and he is chosen specifically by his father, despite his reluctance to go, in response to a summons from elrond. he is thus aware of the true meaning of the phrase "isildur's bane" when he arrives at rivendell on horseback.
