Movie Synopsis
After being awakened, Smaug went on a rampage in Long Lake Town, and was eventually shot and killed by the human Bud (Luke Evans). Sorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage Richard Armitage)’s long-cherished wish for many years finally came true, and Elbor, the lonely mountain, returned to the hands of the dwarves. However, the dwarf prince seemed to be confused by Smaug’s greed and the piles of gold. He frantically searched for the Aken gem that symbolized the throne. Pace (played by Lee Pace) asked for the national treasure of his family, and for this reason, the war among the three tribes was on the verge of breaking out. At the same time, Asog, the pale half-orc, led a mighty army and approached the Lonely Mountain. The gray-robed wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen Ian McKellen) who learned the news mediated the mediation, and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman Martin John C. . Freeman) holds the key to the fate of Middle-earth. The Battle of the Five Armies is about to break out!
