Overview

Rolling seamlessly from The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers follows the continuing quest of Frodo (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring. Frodo and Sam (Sean Astin [Rudy Ruettiger]) discover they are being followed by the mysterious Gollum. Their colleagues Aragorn, the Elf archer Legolas, and Gimli the Dwarf encounter the besieged Rohan kingdom, whose once great King Theoden has fallen under Saruman's deadly spell, and Helm’s Deep becomes the fulcrum on which the battle for Middle-earth balances.
