La confrérie des nains, avec l'aide de Bilbon le Hobbit, a enfin atteint la montagne solitaire et mis la main sur le trésor colossal. Ce faisant, ils ont aussi réveillé le dragon Smaug qui déchaîne sa colère sur les habitants de Lac-Ville. Thorin, aveuglé par sa fortune retrouvée qui vaut plus que tout le sang qui pourrait être versé, refuse de partager avec les Elfes et les humains affamés, rompant ainsi une promesse faite. Son comportement égotique déclenchera une guerre de pouvoir sans précédent entre les Elfes, les Humains, les Nains, les Orques et les Wrags. Seul Bilbon aura le pouvoir d'y mettre fin.

SYNOPSIS
“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventure of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed the vast wealth of their homeland, but now must face the consequences of having unleashed the terrifying Dragon, Smaug, upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.
As he succumbs to dragon-sickness, the King Under the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield, sacrifices friendship and honor in search for the legendary Arkenstone. Unable to help Thorin see reason, Bilbo is driven to make a desperate and dangerous choice, not knowing that even greater perils lie ahead. An ancient enemy has returned to Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain.
As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends as five great armies go to war.
