THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM is an animated version of a short story by Tolkien, who wrote LORD OF THE RINGS. The reign of Helm, the Ninth King of Rohan, is plagued by conflict with “wildmen” from Dunland. A wealthy warlord from Dunland proposes marriage between his son, Wulf, and Helm’s daughter, Héra. However, Helm refuses and mocks the warlord, who challenges Helm to a fight. Helm knocks him dead with one blow. Wulf vows revenge. Four years later, he overruns Rohan’s main fortress. Helm retreats to a mountain fortress, against which Wulf and his armies lay siege.
