The One Ring is actually one of twenty rings of power that exist in Middle-earth, and its unique ability allows its bearer to control those who wear the other nineteen rings, making the story really about all twenty.

Also, at least twelve other rings of power make an appearance in the books. The three greatest rings (that were crafted solely by Celebrimbor without Sauron's influence) are worn by Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond during the events of the story. And the nine rings given to men also show up, as they turned their hosts into the Nazgûl, or the Ringwraiths, who serve Sauron.

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

The title "The Lord of the Rings" refers to Sauron, the dark lord seeking to regain the One Ring, which would give him control over all other rings. The overarching story is about the quest to destroy this powerful ring and defeat Sauron, making him the titular lord that the characters must contend with.

Is there a fourth Lord of the Rings movie?

No, there is not a 4th lord of the rings movie because there were only three books. "The Fellowship of the ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King." If you want to count "The Hobbit" or "There and Back Again" it wouldn't be a lord of the rings movie because it basically tells of how the ring was found and the adventure of Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves. In that book they didn't know that Bilbo's ring was the One Ring, so it is not a part of "The Lord of the rings". It would be a separate movie, and not part of the series.
