Aux portes de Gondor, dans l'obscurité d'un jour crépusculaire, les troupes du Seigneur Ténébreux se préparent. La Guerre de l'Anneau a commencé. Pour les défenseurs de Minas Tirith, ultime rempart du monde libre, tout espoir semble vain. Car le Roi des Nazgûl s'avance, suivi d'une multitude d'hommes, d'orques et de trolls.
