Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and the mini-army of dwarves led by Thorin are facing an evermore deadly path in their pursuit of the Lonely Mountain and its mound of treasure which was stolen from the dwarves some time ago by the fiercesome dragon Smaug. Their attempt to slay him has failed, instead unleashing further horrors upon themselves. Angering the dragon has only made things worse with him now determined to murder every creature that lies in its path, demolishing a neighbouring village with little more than a breath. Gandalf remains captured and tensions are ever rising between not only friends, but elves, dwarves, orcs and goblins and it's clear that the deadliest, brutalist war for thousands of years is well on its way.
'The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies' is the final chapter in 'The Hobbit' film trilogy, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord Of The Rings' series prequel. Triple Oscar winning Peter Jackson ('The Lord of the Rings', 'King Kong') returns once more to Middle-Earth alongside his usual writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, as well as Guillermo del Toro ('Pacific Rim', 'Pan's Labyrinth', 'Hellboy'). The movie is scheduled to be released in the UK on December 12th 2014.
