The
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
In Peter Jackson's second installment of the Middle-Earth
saga:
- the climactic and dramatic scene of the Battle at
Helm's Deep, when Saruman sent his vast ten-thousands of troops
(composed of monster warriors called Uruk-hai - Orcs cross-bred
with Men) from Isengard to attack the small overwhelmed army of
300 (with bows and arrows) and destroy the world of Men; the archers
were advised: "Their armor is weak at the neck and beneath
the arm"
- although the situation looked dire and impossible,
a last horseback attack into the midst of the enemy was led by King
Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) (to allow the women and children to escape
on a mountain pass), bolstered by the arrival at sunrise of reborn
Gandalf the White (Ian McKellen) (on his white horse) and Eomer (Karl
Urban) (and his cavalry warriors) who then triumphed over Saruman's
Uruk-hai/Orc troops
