Return to the world of Middle Earth for Kenji Kamiyama's visionary anime fantasy epic. Set 183 years before Peter Jackson's iconic trilogy, this enthralling entry in the saga charts the journey of the heroic Héra (Gaia Wise) as she leads the war against the Dunlendings, alongside her warrior king father Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox).

Set almost two centuries before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.

Bringing a whole new animated life to the world of Middle Earth with the help of a talented voice cast including the great Brian Cox, this epic fantasy from anime veteran Kenji Kamiyama (producer of Jin-Rohand director of Blade Runner: Black Lotus) expands upon the beloved J.R.R. Tolkien series, taking us far beyond the shire and over the Misty Mountains to deliver a genre spectacle of staggering proportions.
