Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” tells the fate of House Helm Hammerhand, the legendary kings of Rohan. A surprise attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking revenge for his father's death, forces Helm and his people to make a last stand in the ancient stronghold of Hornburg— a mighty fortress that would later be known as Helm's Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Helm's daughter Héra must muster all her will to lead the resistance against a dangerous enemy intent on their utter destruction.

Brian Cox plays Helm Hammerhand, King of Rohan and the main character. Gaia Wise plays Hera, Helm's daughter. Luke Pasqualino plays Wulf, lord of Dunlending. Miranda Otto reprises her role from the original film as Éowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan, and she also serves as the narrator. The cast also includes Lorraine Ashbourne, Yazdan Qafouri, Benjamin Wainwright, Laurence Ubong Williams, Shaun Dooley, Michael Wildman, Jude Akuwudike, Bilal Hasna and Janine Duvitski.
