Set 183 years before the events of the original film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the film follows the fate of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a cunning and ruthless Lord of Dunlending seeking revenge for his father’s death, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand at the ancient fortress of Hornburg, a mighty stronghold that would later become known as Helm’s Deep. Helm’s daughter Hera, faced with an increasingly desperate situation, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy bent on their complete destruction.
