The climactic Battle of Pelennor Fields, filmed over 32 days with over 1,000 cast and crew members and 280 horses, represents the largest practical battle sequence ever filmed. The fate of Gondor and all free peoples hangs in the balance as Rohan's cavalry charges at dawn, Éowyn faces the Witch-king, and Aragorn arrives with the Army of the Dead.
