Set 200 years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s seminal fantasy epic, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim chronicles a power dispute in the Kingdom of Rohan as witnessed by Hera, the strong-willed daughter of King Helm Hammerhand.
What sets this action-packed prequel apart from Peter Jackson’s award-winning film trilogy is that The War of Rohirrim is an animated adventure.
The film is directed by pioneering Japanese animator Kenji Kamiyama – whose previous work includes Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and the 2021 Blade Runner: Black Lotus series – and produced by Japanese studio Sola Entertainment, in collaboration with Jackson’s WingNut Films.
