Part two of the fantasy trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Fellowship is broken. Boromir is dead. Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee have gone to Mordor alone to destroy the One Ring.  The Uruk-hai have captured Merry and Pippin.  Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli have befriended the Rohan.  Aging King, Théoden leads this race of humans that are in the path of the upcoming war.

The two towers between Mordor and Isengard, Barad-dûr and Orthanc, have united in their lust for destruction. The corrupt wizard Saruman, under the power of the Dark Lord Sauron, and his slimy assistant, Gríma Wormtongue, have created a grand Uruk-hai army bent on the destruction of Man and Middle-earth. The rebellion against Sauron is building up and will be led by Gandalf the White, who was thought to be dead after the Balrog captured him. One of the Ring’s original bearers, the creature Gollum, has tracked Frodo and Sam down in search of his “precious”, but the Hobbits capture him and use him as a way to lead them to Mt. Doom. The War of the Ring has now begun.
