Warcraft 2: The War Within picks up where the first film left off, as Azeroth remains embroiled in a ceaseless war between its many factions: Humans, Orcs, Elves, and other creatures. After the great battle depicted in Warcraft (2016) and the closure of the Dark Portal, the world is thrust into a new conflict—one not only fought on the battlefields but within the hearts of its inhabitants. As old alliances are tested and new powers rise, the line between light and darkness becomes ever more blurred.
