First sequel to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). Picking up from where The Fellowship of the Ring's plot left off, The Two Towers portrays a Middle-earth mired in heavy conflict.

Sauron's troops advance towards Gondor to top off a veritable pile of turmoil, setting the stage for the calamitous War of the Ring.
