The heroes may have The Plan, but they just don't have the manpower. So, against all hope, they have to call on the sorts of people who may not want to help or even like them. There is definite potential for overlap with a Last Stand. Then the help comes. Whether or not it's successful, it's a good display of the ultimate community spirit. It's also a nice Continuity Nod if it features characters the heroes have helped in the past. Named after The Lord of the Rings, wherein the nation of Gondor calls the neighbouring kingdom of Rohan for aid in the war against Sauron. Ironically, even in this desperate time, most of Gondor's armies are hanging around in the South, waiting for the Corsair raids (partly because of southern lords refusing to send men north, partly because of Denethor's defeatism). If the act of making the call is an adventure unto itself, that's Bring Help Back. Compare/contrast with the last resort version Enemy Mine, the more metaphysical Combined Energy Attack, and the mandatory version Binding Ancient Treaty and Hero Secret Service. For when the party that is called could beat the living shit out of either side, see Awakening the Sleeping Giant. When you are truly desperate, you Summon Bigger Fish. For drama related to the physical act of calling for help, see Epic Hail. May lead to Climactic Battle Resurrection. Big Damn Heroes and Gunship Rescue are smaller versions of this trope. Crowded-Cast Shot is similar but played for laughs and (usually) not as urgent. See Cavalry Refusal when the allies refuse to help, leading to In the End, You Are on Your Own. Compare Changed My Mind, Kid when they later decide to help anyway. Compare Telecom Tree, the act of telecommunicating with allies (who spread the word) to help with a situation. |

Oasis and Dr. Schlock play this role during the "Dangerous Days" arc of Sluggy Freelance (though with shades of Enemy Mine). The same can be said of just about any time Bun-Bun agrees to help anyone. | |

Kevin & Kell: Fiona has been appointed Maid of Honor to Leona's wedding in the Thursday 7 November 2019 strip. Since Leona is obsessive and insecure, she's prime bridezilla material. This causes Fiona to entreat help from Greta and Miranda, citing this trope by name. Anyone pre-planning the nuptials of an emotionally haywire lioness needs all the help they can get. | |

In RWBY Volume 8, with Salem making a direct assault on Atlas, the heroes decide to launch the Amity CCT to reestablish Global Comms and warn the rest of Remnant about what is happening. Not simply to call for help, but so that the other kingdoms will have time to prepare for when Salem comes after them. | |

In the Black Jack Justice episode "The Late Mr. Justice", an old enemy of Jack's, Rick Morales, gets released on parole and immediately sets out to kill Jack. To do so he kidnaps Jack's girlfriend Dorothy and threatens to kill her if Jack doesn't give himself up. Jack agrees, but during the confrontation, Jack reveals Morales gave Jack enough time to assemble as many allies as he could on short notice. What Morales intended as a massacre turns into a shootout between his gang and Jack, his partner Trixie, fellow detectives "Button-Down" Theo and Alf McKinney, and police officers Lieutenant Sabien and Sergeant Nelson, during which Jack's long-time friend and small time hood Freddy "the Finger" Hawthorne locates Dorothy and gets her to safety. | |

In 1992, Genichiro Tenryu departed from All Japan Pro Wrestling to become the spokesman of Megane Super, an eyeglasses company. Megane Super executive Hachiro Tanaka had interest in running a pro wrestling promotion however and so Tenryu became one of the faces of the "Super World Of Sports", which in turn led to Yoshiaki Yatsu, Ashura Hara, Shunji Takano, The Great Kabuki, Hiromichi Fuyuki, Tatsumi "Koki" Kitahara, Masao Orihara, Isao Takagi and even referee Hiroyuki Unno to also depart from All Japan to join Tenryu in the new promotion. Giant Baba felt betrayed and proclaimed he would never allow Tenryu to return to All Japan, pushing Mitsuharu Misawa in his place and leading Tenryu to start his own promotion, WAR, when Megane Super pulled the plug on SWS. After Giant Baba died his wife demoted Misawa, who in turn also left All Japan and took 92% of the native roster with him to form Pro Wrestling NOAH in 2000, whom All Japan's distributor, NTV, decided to broadcast instead of All Japan while using its shares in AJPW to keep it from shopping for another television network spot. The situation became so dire Mokoto Baba called on Tenryu, who closed down WAR and took the roster back to All Japan. WAR was the first promotion in the history of Japanese pro wrestling that shutdown for a such a practical reason, rather than monetary failure, political in fighting, mismanagement, or the like. | |

Tower of God: When Ja Wangnan tried to get Viole's help, he did it as a last resort and tried to bargain with him and ultimately had to rely on his goodwill — while trying to trick him into entering his team. He succeeded, but that's because Viole decided to join anyway after seeing through it. | |

Renegade Rhetoric had a post of Cy-Kill describing the events of the fictional second season Challenge of the GoBots episode "The Guardian Smashers", which was about a team being formed of various human villains the Guardians had faced. In the end, Matt Hunter turns the tide by assembling the Guardian Auxiliary League, consisting of humans who helped or were helped by the Guardians (Mira Shaw from "Renegade Carnival", Buddy from "Whiz Kid", Greg and Don from "Speed is of the Essence", Professor Janus from "Terror in Atlantis" and Dr. Aeolis from "Clutch of Doom"). | |

As mentioned on the Film page, this trope saves the day at the end of The Music Man. After Professor Harold Hill is exposed as a con artist and fraud who never planned to form a children's band in the first place, all of River City gathers to see him tarred and feathered. Marion Paroo turns on the crowd and reminds everyone of how Harold's positive energy and joy have genuinely improved their lives; Mayor Shinn then snaps that anyone who thinks Harold shouldn't be run out of town should step forward. After a tense moment, Marian's mother Mrs. Paroo does just that...followed by the rest of the citizens, the School Board (who've served as the Mayor's lackeys throughout the show), and even Eulalie Shinn, the Mayor's wife. Though the Mayor tries to win back the crowd by saying that Harold still ripped them off, Marion's diversion buys enough time for the children of River City to assemble with their instruments and begin playing. They're absolutely horrid, of course, but the parents love it, the Mayor is won over, and Harold gets to stay with Marion. | |

Schlock Mercenary has one of these at the climax of the Resident Mad Scientist book. After the Milky Way is doomed by a superweapon so powerful it breaks causality, a time-traveling Kevyn Andreyasn escapes to the past to try again. Upon his return, resident super-AI Petey convinces basically every sentient, starfaring race in the galaxy to aid in a battle against the dark matter entities at the galactic core who set the weapon off. | |

Miracle of Sound's The Elder Scrolls Online song "The Call" is this musically; The lyrics call on the aid of each of Tamriel's species: "Bring us your arms, pariahs of yore" for the orcs. "Exiles of the ash, stare through crimson glow" for the dumner. "Guards of the north sing their songs of the snow" for the nords. "Bring us the breath of the marshes and rain" for the argonians. "Pride of summer's shores, guide the voices of kings" for the altmer. "Children of bark, they will tighten their strings" for the bosmer. "Bring us the wits of the warm summer sands" for the kahjiit. |

Finally happens at the very end of Errant Story, when the elves figure out that they are utterly screwed and ask Tsuiraku for help. Of course, what really matters isn't that they get the Tsuirakuan battlemages, but rather, that they get the Five-Man Band (Meji, Ellis, Jon, Sarine, and Sara), whom they did not actually ask for. | |

The Lion King: during the climactic final battle of the movie, Simba is headed to Pride Rock to face Scar alone. As soon as he takes his first good look at his rightful home, he is shocked to see the devastation that has taken place during his absence. Cue Nala walking out of the fog, telling him that this is what Scar has done to the once-majestic Pride Lands, soon thereafter offering her help. Simba initially refuses, rather vehemently, but then Timon and Pumbaa emerge, backing Nala's claims and addressing how grim the situation is, and offering their servitude. Simba then accepts, dashing off to go confront Scar and reclaim his land. As said actual battle progresses and more and more of the major characters are freed, Rafiki, Zazu, and the pack of lionesses charge in to help Simba. | |

Averted in Les Misérables. Enjolras expects the help of the French army and the people of Paris in his revolution; however, he can no longer count on the help of the former when ally and military General Lamarque dies of an unspecified illness, and "The Final Battle" begins with Enjolras's somber realization that they have been abandoned by the people of Paris as well. They are quickly overwhelmed by the French forces and only two — Marius and Valjean — survive. | |

In Magic: The Gathering, the Invasion block had a major multicolor theme, to show people putting aside their differences. Tellingly, the last one, Apocalypse, reversed the traditional color pie, with enemy colors being allies and vice versa. For instance, white is about society, whereas black and red are about the individual.note Black is about ambition, while red is about emotion. Suffice it to say, they don't get along. Yet they did in this one. As did blue with red and green (logic vs. emotion); black with green and white (death vs. life); red with white and blue (anarchy vs. rules); and green with blue and black (nature vs. progress). | |

Happens hourly in Warhammer 40,000, across all media, usually with the Space Marines playing Rohan. The typical version of this is for the flavor-of-the-month faction to come in and save the day. When done well, it can be awesome. When done badly, such as an infamous section of the 5e Grey Knights codex when the Grey Knights answer the call and proceed to wipe out the Sisters of Battle who held the line in order to use their blood as holy armor lubricant, it can be a real stinker. | |

Warhammer: The nations of Estalia and Tilea were being invaded by the armies of the Araby Sultan Jaffar. The combined armies of Bretonnia and The Empire soon came to their aid and drove their armies all the way back to Jaffars stronghold and slew the evil Sultan. Happens hourly in Warhammer 40,000, across all media, usually with the Space Marines playing Rohan. The typical version of this is for the flavor-of-the-month faction to come in and save the day. When done well, it can be awesome. When done badly, such as an infamous section of the 5e Grey Knights codex when the Grey Knights answer the call and proceed to wipe out the Sisters of Battle who held the line in order to use their blood as holy armor lubricant, it can be a real stinker. The goal of the Planetary Defense Force of a given Imperial world is to be the first on the ground, engage the enemy as soon as possible, learn what they can, and above all stall for time. While they're dying in droves to accomplish that, the astropaths call for reinforcing units of Guardsmen and, if necessary, Space Marines (although they aren't always available, and don't always get there in time.) In some cases, it's actually standard procedure. Some Forge Worlds are used as resupply stops by other Imperial forces, so the Adeptus Mechanicus figure they might as well cut defense funding to the minimum to make more room for workers since there'll always be a fleet or two in orbit. Turns against them in The Greater Good, where a difficult start to negotiations ends when Cain points out that if the Mechanicus doesn't want the Guard's help against the Tyranids on the Guard's terms, there's probably another system around that could use it. |

The Rescuers Down Under has one hell of an example where, upon learning of a young boy's kidnapping, members of the Rescue Aid Society relay for help to their base in New York from ''Australia''. The signal is sent first from a ramshackle broadcasting station in the outback, then from the jury-rigged wreck of a P-35 fighter in the Marshall Islands, then from there to a high-tech American Intelligence listening post in Hawaii, which the RAS has apparently hacked into, and then (whilst we don't see the rest of the stations), it jumps from San Francisco to Denver to Chicago to D.C. before finally arriving in New York. ...oh, and did we forget to mention that the RAS is an organisation made up of mice? | |
