Le forze di Sauron hanno attaccato la capitale di Gondor, Minas Tirith, nel suo assedio finale contro l'umanità. Tenuto da un debole sovrintendente, quello che una volta era un fastoso regno non ha mai avuto così bisogno del proprio re. Mentre Gandalf tenta disperatamente di spingere lo smembrato esercito di Gondor ad agire, Thèoden si unisce ai guerrieri di Rohan per combattere assieme a loro. Pieno di coraggio e di appassionata lealtà, l'esercito degli umani non riesce però a tener testa alle numerosissime legioni nemiche che giungono su tutto il regno. Ogni vittoria è accompagnata da un grande sacrificio. Malgrado le numerose perdite, la Compagnia si lancia verso la più grande battaglia mai affrontata, unita dall'unico scopo di riuscire a tenere Sauron distratto e dare a Frodo una occasione per portare a termine la sua spedizione...
