Quick Synopsis

After the dragon Smaug attacks Laketown, Bilbo Baggins and the company of dwarves work to protect the treasure hoarded inside the Lonely Mountain, which is now claimed by the surviving men of Laketown and the elves from the nearby forest of Mirkwood. At the same time, an army of Orcs led by Azog the Defiler advances toward Erebor, driven by the growing power of the dark lord Sauron. To face this threat, the dwarves, elves, and men must come together in an uneasy alliance, with the fate of Middle-Earth ultimately depending on Bilbo's courage and actions.
