Hobbit, The: Battle Of The Five Armies Extended Edition 3D

The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies is the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. This Extended Edition includes 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage and hours of fascinating in-depth looks at the production. The film brings to an epic conclusion the adventure of Bilbo Baggins (Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (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, sacrifices friendship and honor in search of 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. Suron, the Dark Lord, has sent forth legions of Ores 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. (Gary Reber)
