"The Battle for Helm's Deep is Over..." is the last documentary feature of the second Appendix of the Extended Edition of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It was directed by Michael Pellerin and spans six minutes.
Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, a few producers, and the main cast discuss the strenuous post-production phase of the film, and the considerable fame and reception that manifested in the film's premiers globally. They also discuss their feelings at the nearness of concluding their work together.
The title references Gandalf's lines in the penultimate scene of the film, after the Battle of the Hornburg had finished, before he says, "the battle for Middle-earth is about to begin".
