What is the subtitle of the second film in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy?
Answer
The Two Towers
The subtitle of the second film in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy is The Two Towers.
Released in 2002, The Two Towers continues the story after the Fellowship has been broken. Frodo and Sam travel toward Mordor with Gollum, while Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli become involved in the defense of Rohan. Merry and Pippin encounter Treebeard and the Ents in Fangorn Forest.
The title refers to two major strongholds: Orthanc in Isengard and Barad-dûr in Mordor. The film’s climactic battle at Helm’s Deep is one of its best-known sequences. It also ends with the revelation that Gollum intends to lead the hobbits into Shelob’s lair.
The film was adapted from material in J. R. R. Tolkien’s novel, but its structure differs in several places. The Two Towers should not be confused with The Return of the King, the trilogy’s third film.
