Set 183 years before the events of the original *Lord of the Rings* trilogy, *The War of the Rohirrim* recounts the epic struggle of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. A brutal attack by Wulf, a cunning and merciless Dunlending lord seeking retribution for his father’s death, forces Helm and his people into a desperate last stand within the ancient Hornburg fortress – a stronghold that would later become renowned as Helm’s Deep. Faced with overwhelming odds and a relentless enemy determined on their annihilation, Héra, Helm’s daughter, must find the strength and courage to lead the resistance against this devastating threat.
Brian Cox, a celebrated Scottish actor with a distinguished career spanning stage and screen, lends his considerable talent to the film. Known for his classically trained Shakespearean background and numerous accolades, including two Laurence Olivier Awards, Cox’s presence promises a powerful performance.
