"A sore day... a red day... ere the sun rises."

The Ride of the Rohirrim - The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King
Peter Jackson


Picture this:


In his quest for the One Ring, Sauron sends his army of orcs to give a final death blow to the ailing kingdom of Gondor, and finally annihilate the human race.
Minas Tirith, the capital city of Gondor, is under siege by the orc army, and will soon face oblivion.

The orcs enter the first inner circle of the city, the army of men incapable of stopping the brute force of the dark army.


All hope seems lost. Gandalf, the White, commands the retreat: “Fight! Fight to the last man! Fight for your lives!”

And then, from afar, you hear the distant sound of a horn.
The Rohirrim have come to help.


Facing the full extension of the dark army, King Theoden of Rohan calls to his countrymen:

"Arise. Arise, Riders of Théoden. Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered. A sore day... a red day... ere the sun rises."

“Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride to ruin, and the world's ending!”
[The riders yell for battle]


[Also a full quote and exact adaptation from the novel The Return of the King, by J.R.R Tolkien.]


And the rest is just one of the best scenes ever filmed: the Ride of the Rohirrim over the orc army at the fields of Pelennor – courtesy of Peter Jackson, from The Return of the King, the third part of The Lord of the Rings.

The Return of The King won an Academy Award for Best Picture in 2003 (something unusual for a fantasy film), and is ranked #14 in IMDB’s Top 250 Movies.

i hope you enjoy it.
