The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim only invaded cinemas two weeks ago, but it's already available to watch at home in the US. Directed by Kenji Kamiyama, the animated prequel tells the story of the House of Helm Hammerhand as they defend their kingdom against an army of Dunlendings at a fortress that came to be known as Helm's Deep.
