A banner for "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" is unleashed ahead of its December 17 release in the United States. It puts together at least seven different scenes from the epic Bilbo Baggins saga. Peter Jackson is back at the helm, and Martin Freeman reprises his role as Bilbo.
The one-sheet includes a fiery standoff between Bard the Bowman (Luke Evans) and dragon Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch), a dramatic scene between Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), and a gloomy Thorin (Richard Armitage) on his throne.
The final installment of "The Hobbit" series will bring to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.
Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo's frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron 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 in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
