Step back into the legendary realm of Middle-earth! New Line Cinema’s highly anticipated anime feature, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, begins with a gripping opening sequence that you can now experience firsthand. This original anime film, helmed by the acclaimed Kenji Kamiyama (Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Ghost in the Shell), brings J.R.R. Tolkien’s world to life like never before.

Set 183 years before the The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the film explores the fate of Helm Hammerhand (voiced by Brian Cox), King of Rohan, as he battles Wulf (Luke Pasqualino), a vengeful Dunlending lord. With Helm’s people pushed to the brink, his daughter Héra (Gaia Wise) rises as a beacon of hope in the shadow of Helm’s Deep—a fortress destined for legend.

Narrated by Éowyn herself (Miranda Otto), this tale boasts an exceptional cast, stunning animation, and a powerhouse creative team that includes Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh, and Peter Jackson. Tolkien fans, this is the cinematic event you’ve been waiting for!
