🧙‍♂️ Plot Summary

The narrative unfolds in the realm of Azeroth, a land of peace that faces invasion by the orcish Horde, fleeing their dying world of Draenor. Led by the warlock Gul'dan, the orcs utilize dark fel magic to open a portal to Azeroth, initiating a brutal conflict.

Central to the story are two protagonists from opposing sides: Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel), a valiant human commander, and Durotan (Toby Kebbell), a noble orc chieftain who questions Gul'dan's ruthless methods. Caught between these worlds is Garona (Paula Patton), a half-orc, half-human who becomes a pivotal figure in the unfolding war.

As battles rage and alliances shift, both factions must confront internal and external threats, leading to a climactic confrontation that determines the fate of their worlds.
