The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

In the end, Hera’s fierce leadership proves pivotal in defending Rohan from Wulf’s relentless assault. Though Helm sacrificed himself heroically during the siege at Hornburg, his death symbolized the ultimate stand of willpower and devotion to his people. As Helm’s courage inspired the Rohirrim in their darkest hour, Hera cleverly leverages her newfound authority and her bond with the Great Eagles to lead her people to safety through secret passages. Her duel with Wulf highlights her bravery and leadership, and although Wulf is ultimately killed by Hera, her mercy in sparing him demonstrates her nobility. With Wulf defeated, the Rohirrim’s future is secured, and Frealaf is crowned as the new king of Rohan, symbolizing a new chapter of renewal and hope. The film ends with a glimpse into the future, as Saruman is shown taking control of Isengard, hinting at the darker threats looming over Middle-earth, while Hera and Olwyn set out to seek the wizard Gandalf, sensing the dark forces of Sauron beginning to stir once more. This ending encapsulates themes of sacrifice, resilience, and the dawn of a new age, leaving viewers with the idea that even in darkness, hope and heroism can prevail.
