Synopsis

Frodo Baggins and the other members of the Fellowship continue on their sacred quest to destroy the One Ring--but on separate paths. Their destinies lie at two towers--Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupt wizard Saruman awaits, and Sauron's fortress at Barad-dur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor. Frodo and Sam are trekking to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power while Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn search for the orc-captured Merry and Pippin. All along, nefarious wizard Saruman awaits the Fellowship members at the Orthanc Tower in Isengard.

Why To Watch The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers?

Lissete E. Lanuza Sáenz

JustWatch Editor

For those who believe the middle movie in any trilogy is the weakest

The Two Towers is not just a great piece of The Lord of the Rings puzzle; it’s an exceptional movie in its own right. In this movie, the trilogy gets darker and more real, the characters gain emotional depth, and the scope of what’s facing everyone becomes clearer. Plus, this is the one to watch if you love action. It’s hard to do an epic fictional battle better than this movie does The Battle of Helm's Deep. Necessary for the big picture, but enjoyable even as something to watch on its own.

The best in the trilogy if you love grand-scale action

Loved The Fellowship of the Ring? Then, you’re bound to become as infatuated with The Two Towers as Gollum is with the One Ring. Peter Jackson’s middle movie trades the whimsy and adventure of its predecessor for something a lot darker and thrilling. The Battle of Helm’s Deep is worth the watch alone. Spanning an epic 40 minutes, Hollywood hasn’t delivered anything quite on its level before or since. Ask me, and I’ll tell you that The Two Towers is the best of the trilogy. It’s just as grandiose, darkly beautiful, and emotional as Tolkien wrote it. This is where the real meat of LOTR lore is!
