Warner Bros. unleashed the trailer for "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" today and it is suitably epic...as one would expect from a Peter Jackson production. This three minute trailer for the film, due out later this year, is definitely full of action-tinged battle scenes as well as high-drama clips for the characters we've been following throughout "The Hobbit" trilogy. Check out the pulse-pounding trailer here:
The full synopsis for the film is as follows:
"'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' brings to an epic conclusion the adventures 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 his 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."
"The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" is due in theaters on December 17.
