Uploaded in 4K UHD, HDR, and Dolby Atmos to provide the highest viewing quality. You must have an HDR-capable screen to view HDR video, otherwise, KZbin will automatically show you SDR.
I started the clip very early to give context about the grim state of the battlefield and the arrival of the Rohirrim as all hope seemed lost. Montage and edit from the December 1, 2020 release in 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray with Dolby Atmos 5.1 audio. The coloring has been totally remastered by film director Peter Jackson to get a consistent look throughout all of the movies.
Director Peter Jackson's quote about the re-release: "The thing with 4K is not just to go for pristine sharpness, it is to preserve the cinematic look of it at the same time as everything becoming crisp."
The quality of this release is incredible. The visuals are gorgeous and it is worth it to watch all extended editions of the movies over again!
Respective owners of filmed content: New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers. No copyright infringement intended, just a humble fan that thinks this incredible scene should be on KZbin under fair use. Footage from Lord of the Rings Return of the King Extended Edition.

Some excerpts from the book: 《Ever since the middle night the great assault had gone on. The drums rolled. To the north and to the south company upon company of the enemy pressed to the walls. There came great beasts, like moving houses in the red and fitful light, the _mûmakil_ of the Harad dragging through the lanes amid the fires huge towers and engines. Yet their Captain cared not greatly what they did or how many might be slain: their purpose was only to test the strength of the defence and to keep the men of Gondor busy in many places. It was against the Gate that he would throw his heaviest weight. Very strong it might be, wrought of steel and iron, and guarded with towers and bastions of indomitable stone, yet it was the key, the weakest point in all that high and impenetrable wall. The drums rolled louder. Fires leaped up. Great engines crawled across the field; and in the midst was a huge ram, great as a forest-tree a hundred feet in length, swinging on mighty chains. Long had it been forging in the dark smithies of Mordor, and its hideous head, founded of black steel, was shaped in the likeness of a ravening wolf; on it spells of ruin lay. Grond they named it, in memory of the Hammer of the Underworld of old. Great beasts drew it, orcs surrounded it, and behind walked mountain-trolls to wield it. But about the Gate resistance still was stout, and there the knights of Dol Amroth and the hardiest of the garrison stood at bay. Shot and dart fell thick; siege-towers crashed or blazed suddenly like torches. All before the walls on either side of the Gate the ground was choked with wreck and with bodies of the slain; yet still driven as by a madness more and more came up. Grond crawled on. Upon its housing no fire would catch; and though now and again some great beast that hauled it would go mad and spread stamping ruin among the orcs innumerable that guarded it, their bodies were cast aside from its path and others took their place. Grond crawled on. The drums rolled wildly. Over the hills of slain a hideous shape appeared: a horseman, tall, hooded, cloaked in black. Slowly, trampling the fallen, he rode forth, heeding no longer any dart. He halted and held up a long pale sword. And as he did so a great fear fell on all, defender and foe alike; and the hands of men drooped to their sides, and no bow sang. For a moment all was still. The drums rolled and rattled. With a vast rush Grond was hurled forward by huge hands. It reached the Gate. It swung. A deep boom rumbled through the City like thunder running in the clouds. But the doors of iron and posts of steel withstood the stroke. Then the Black Captain rose in his stirrups and cried aloud in a dreadful voice, speaking in some forgotten tongue words of power and terror to rend both heart and stone. Thrice he cried. Thrice the great ram boomed. And suddenly upon the last stroke the Gate of Gondor broke. As if stricken by some blasting spell it burst asunder: there was a flash of searing lightning, and the doors tumbled in riven fragments to the ground. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face. All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen. ‘You cannot enter here,’ said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. ‘Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!’ The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter. ‘Old fool!’ he said. ‘Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!’ And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade. Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn. And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last. [...] Now silently the host of Rohan moved forward into the field of Gondor, pouring in slowly but steadily, like the rising tide through breaches in a dike that men have thought secure. But the mind and will of the Black Captain were bent wholly on the falling city, and as yet no tidings came to him warning that his designs held any flaw. After a while the king led his men away somewhat eastward, to come between the fires of the siege and the outer fields. Still they were unchallenged, and still Théoden gave no signal. At last he halted once again. The City was now nearer. A smell of burning was in the air and a very shadow of death. The horses were uneasy. But the king sat upon Snowmane, motionless, gazing upon the agony of Minas Tirith, as if stricken suddenly by anguish, or by dread. He seemed to shrink down, cowed by age. Merry himself felt as if a great weight of horror and doubt had settled on him. His heart beat slowly. Time seemed poised in uncertainty. They were too late! Too late was worse than never! Perhaps Théoden would quail, bow his old head, turn, slink away to hide in the hills. Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering. Far, far away, in the South the clouds could be dimly seen as remote grey shapes, rolling up, drifting: morning lay beyond them. But at that same moment there was a flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white, its topmost tower like a glittering needle; and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great _boom._ At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before: _Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!_ _Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!_ _spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,_ _a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!_ _Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!_ With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. _Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!_ Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first _éored_ roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City. [...] Over the field rang his clear voice calling: ‘Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!’ [...] _Death_ they cried with one voice loud and terrible.》 - The Return of the King, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Well, apperently, i watched these trilogy for the first time several days ago😂. Not really interested with fantasy movie bcs it's often just a mediocre or awesome story movie with overvfx. However, several weeks ago, i saw the top rated movie of all time again, then realize lotr is one of them. What really took interest in me is the fact all lotr movie (1,2,3) are in the top ten imdb score. That's a wholesome. Then i decided to watch all LOTR for the first, my expectations is really high considering all lotr are in score 8.7, 8.8, and 8.9 imdb. The first LOTR: The Fellowship of The Ring is masterpiece level 10/10. I thought that it will be 9/10 then i was mesmerized by how far this movie surpass my expectations. then.... The second LOTR: The Two Towers is masterpiece level 10/10, still surpass my expectations. then.... The third LOTR: Return of The King is absolutely 10/10, absolutely surpass my expectations It's official that LOTR is the best trilogy of all time yet😅

Death!! Death!! This gets overlooked but in Tolkien's work death was a gift given to men exclusively by god and it was corrupted by Sauron, causing the corruption of men and their demise. So actually the rohirrim embracing and screaming DEATH! is not only an epic war chant, it is also a defiance to evil and the dark lord itself, which makes it poetic, simbolic, and encouraging :)

@stewiegriffin5139 2 жыл бұрын

Never thought of it like that but makes sense. I believe Tolkien based the Rohirrim off Norse cultures. They too embraced death as a means of a new journey beginning, especially dying 'well' in battle too, straight to Valhalla.

@josephmann9624 2 жыл бұрын

i agree, but ultimately the hobbit's CGI is still honestly good. It did suffer in a few ways, but he broke ground in insane ways once again, and honestly probably more than in LOTR. Just as earlier 2000's CGI stood on his lotr film's shoulders, CG today stands on the shoulders of the hobbit. There's so much more actually happening CG in the BOTFA than any other mass battle in any movie, and people just miss it sadly.

It takes a huge risk from a studio, which New Line took. No studio would dream of that today. Now it’s play it safe, hit diversity quotas and put it onto a streaming platform, then pretend it was a success.

As a teenager I was reading "Return of the King", and I was so hooked up that I would pick up the book anywhere I could. This time I was reading it on the train, crowded with people, when the speech of Théoden came to me and this scene unfolded: it was the first time I ever cried reading a book in my life, and I couldn't care less if that crowd in the train was seeing my burst into tears. EPIC.

My favourite scene, however even it pales in comparison to the book: Now silently the host of Rohan moved forward into the field of Gondor, pouring in slowly but steadily. After a while the king led his men away somewhat eastward, to come between the fires of the siege and the outer fields. Still they were unchallenged, and still Théoden gave no signal. A smell of burning was in the air and a very shadow of death. The horses were uneasy. But the king sat upon Snowmane, motionless, gazing upon the agony of Minas Tirith, as if stricken suddenly by anguish, or by dread. He seemed to shrink down, cowed by age. Merry himself felt as if a great weight of horror and doubt had settled on him. They were too late! Too late was worse than never! Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering. But at that same moment there was a flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white, its topmost tower like a glittering needle: and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great boom. At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before: 'Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!' With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. 'Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!' Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.

I get shivers from the movie scene - which is understandable I think. The music, the visuals - totally engrossing. But, this passage in the book sends chills all the way down my spine, and through to my fingertips. Amazing how Tolkein could craft, out of black type on a white page, imagery and emotion vivid enough to kindle visceral hope, in even this stubborn pessimist.

Such a brief moment, yet so powerful. One of the many, many details that make this trilogy, among the best ever form of art humankind has able to create.

This is such a beautiful and perfect scene I remember watching it the day it premiered in 2002 with tears in my eyes in the cinema, it has everything in the scene The Rohirrim arriving behind the Sun Rise, Theoden not losing his courage, giving the orders to his Commanders "When You reach the wall" Although he knew he would be facing certain death but lead the charge any way to come to the aid of the Gondorian's even the Rohan theme playing during the charge makes it perfect. I must have seen this 100 times and still have the same reaction each time.

The Rohirrim horn and the Narnian horn are still my favorite horn blasts in films to date. Fun facts: JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis were great friends and had a deal to do some fantasy stories at the same time, Lewis for children and Tolkien for adults. The results are none other than the Narnian Chronicles and the LOTR series.

What I love about the LOTR-Movies is how they tried to show the different strength and weaknesses of certain races and troops on the battlefield. The Rohirrim were just OP on the open field against archers and simple soldiers. The Horses alone (charging at you with 40 mph) killed many orcs simply by running them over. The Fear in the eyes of the Orcs when they realize that nothing could stop the Rohirrim is telling. But everything changed when the Ollfiants entered the battlefield. In the 2nd movie Aragorn and Gandalf suggested to Theoden that he should meat Saruman's armies head on. Why ? Because both knew that this would play to the advantage of the Rohirrim even if they were outnumbered by a few thousands. By hiding in Helms DeepTheoden gave Saruman an advantage. Rohan's armies were not build and trained for sieges. But Saruman's armies were.

The last time I saw this trilogy was when I was in grade school. My mind still could not absorb everything at this time and it was boring at some points that I was not paying attention. It was just showing in cable. Then the entire infinity saga came and I watched both infinity war and endgame in theaters and I thought that was the best cinema experience I have ever had. Fast forwards few years I'm now working and one of the things I do before I go to bed is to watch something before I snooze. I decided to rewatch these films. For three days straight I didn't have a good amount of sleep cuz I watched one each night. After finishing this, I told myself that I envy the people who watched these in theaters. This was by far better than end game imo. What a beautiful trilogy. I've been listening to lorecasts ever since.
