The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Extended Edition 12A
Showing as part of Special screenings & events, Showroom Classics
“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end.”
The Two Towers follows the continuing quest of Frodo and the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring. Frodo and Sam discover they are being followed by the mysterious Gollum. Aragorn, the Elf archer Legolas and Gimli the Dwarf encounter the besieged Rohan kingdom, whose once great King Theoden has fallen under Saruman's deadly spell.
Like the other films in the trilogy, The Two Towers is widely recognised as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made as well as one of the greatest sequels in cinema history. The film received numerous accolades; at the 75th Academy Awards, it was nominated for six awards, including Best Picture, winning for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects.
To complete the trilogy this week, also make sure to see our extended edition screenings of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King. Watch all three films back to back in our Lord of the Rings marathon screening on Sunday 22nd September.
