In the extended edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the scene titled "The Tower of Cirith Ungol Part 1" depicts Samwise Gamgee's courageous effort to rescue Frodo Baggins from the Orc-occupied tower. After defeating Shelob, Sam discovers that Orcs have taken Frodo's seemingly lifeless body to the Tower of Cirith Ungol. Determined to save his friend, Sam follows them to the tower's main entrance but finds it heavily guarded. Utilizing the Phial of Galadriel, he overcomes the Watchers—malevolent statues that bar entry—and gains access to the fortress. Inside, Sam observes that the Orcs have turned on each other in a violent dispute over Frodo's valuable mithril shirt, resulting in their mutual destruction. Navigating through the aftermath of the Orcs' infighting, Sam ascends the tower in search of Frodo, setting the stage for their imminent reunion.
