Six thousand riders against , orcs. A city ablaze, with an exhausted, daunted cavalry relief force mustering one mighty charge in a last-ditch bid to save it. And it remains a high-point of sword and spear battle scenes on the big screen.
From the moment those Rohan horns sound a resounding note of hope, to the bone-crunching crash into the lines of Mordor, the Ride of the Rohirrim is four minutes of pure, exhilarating anticipation and spectacle.
The entire scene, much like the film and the trilogy as a whole, is about triumph over adversity. Of good defeating evil, and never abandoning hope — even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Delivered so passionately by actor Bernard Hill, it is an incredible battle cry; readily taken up by the thousands at his back — and especially Eowyn and Merry, who have sneaked in to join the fight. The charge itself, signaled again by a blast of horns and accompanied by the first romantic tones of the Rohan theme, is a sight to behold.
And it carries through the thematic, emotional resonance quite powerfully. With the music accompanying their steady building of pace, the army breaks from trot to canter, canter to gallop, wielding their swords, spears and axes readily and en masse, as they head towards a wall of halberds and pikes.
Then the orcs give the order to fire. Still they ride. And in the face of overwhelming odds, tension begins to turn to triumph. The Rohirrim were a race of Men who inhabited the land of Rohan , which was named after their famous horses.

They were heroic, noble, brave, strong willed and fiercely independent, remaining within their own language and culture. Their horses were very important assets in their everyday lives, with their entire culture based around the breeding and trading of them. They lived mostly in villages on the plains of Rohan where their horses grazed, and had few cities.
As a result, they were lifelong allies of Gondor bound by the Oath of Eorl. At that time Calenardhon was renamed Rohan Horse-land after their many horses. By the Rohirrim themselves Rohan is usually called "The Mark". The terms Riders of Rohan and Riders of the Mark are commonly used and refer specifically to their mounted soldiers. The former is a chapter title in The Two Towers.
The "King's Riders" were specifically the horsemen who formed the king 's bodyguard. They were ruled by a line of kings descended from Eorl the Young , who had first brought them to Rohan, and in time of war every able man rode to join the Muster of Rohan. Rohirrim is Sindarin for People of the Horse-lords sometimes translated simply as Horse -lords and are mostly used by outsiders: the name they had for themselves are Eorlingas , after their king Eorl the Young who had first brought them to Rohan.
Rohirrim is a collective noun, and when used grammatically as a subject or object is usually used with the definite article i. After that, it will probably wind up on HBO Max. Alex Welch.
