Warcraft (2016), directed by Duncan Jones, is a high-fantasy film based on the popular video game franchise by Blizzard Entertainment. Set in the rich and expansive world of Azeroth, the film brings to life the epic conflict between the human kingdom of Stormwind and the invading orcish Horde, exploring themes of war, honor, and survival. Though the film faced mixed reviews upon its release, it remains a significant cinematic adaptation of a beloved video game franchise and offers a visually stunning depiction of the Warcraft universe.

The story of Warcraft takes place during the First War, when the orcs, fleeing from their dying homeworld of Draenor, invade Azeroth through a mystical portal called the Dark Portal. The orcs, led by the powerful warlock Gul’dan (Daniel Wu), are desperate to conquer a new world to ensure their survival.

However, their arrival brings chaos and devastation to Azeroth. On the human side, the kingdom of Stormwind, led by King Llane Wrynn (Dominic Cooper), and the noble knight Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel) must defend their lands against the orc invasion.
