The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies Soars With A New Trailer & Movie Poster

The defining chapter of The Hobbit has arrived. Thanks to the usual buzz of the San Diego Comic-Con we have now the official first trailer of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. And it doesn't end there as a new poster has also surfaced online, featuring our titular Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

Director Peter Jackson offers us the final serving of his yet another fantastical fantasy adventure based on the book by J. R. R. Tolkien. Will this be the last Middle-earth full-length feature film we are to see in this generation, or is the team gearing up for a more epic story -- the Silmarillion, perhaps?

Watch the new trailer of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

And don't miss this wonderful poster, featuring a kneeling Bilbo Baggins.

Synopsis

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brings 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.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will soar to theaters on December 17, 2014.
