A war of two worlds

Orcs fight against humans

Directed by Duncan Jones, Warcraft is an epic fantasy adventure based on the popular computer game series from Blizzard Entertainment.

The peaceful world of Azeroth is being invaded by a fearsome race of orcs. The orcs must find a new world to live in because their home planet is dying. As a magical gateway connects the two worlds, the humans face destruction and the orcs face extinction.

There are heroes on both sides — Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel), leader of the humans and Durotan (Toby Kebbell), leader of the orcs. They must decide the fate of their families, their people and their homes.

This is an exciting story of power and sacrifice and everybody has something to fight for. But who will win? Find out when Warcraft opens on May 26.
