La Compagnia dell'Anello è divisa, e ogni speranza è riposta ora in Frodo e Sam, che stanno tentando di attraversare non visti i confini di Mordor, tallonati dall'infido Gollum: Aragorn, Gimli e Legolas sono invece sulle tracce di Merry e Pipino, rapiti dagli Uruk-Hai di Saruman e in grave pericolo di vita. Attraverso alterne vicende, raggiungeranno la terra di Rohan e aiuteranno il Re Theoden nella sua guerra contro il traditore Saruman...
