Answer
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Peter Jackson’s 2014 concluding Hobbit film is titled The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
The film was released on 11 December 2014 in New Zealand and on 17 December 2014 in the United States. It is the third entry in Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy, following An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug.
Its story begins immediately after Smaug attacks Lake-town. The surviving forces converge around the Lonely Mountain, where the struggle for its strategic wealth develops into the Battle of the Five Armies. The title refers to the major groups involved in the conflict rather than to a single army.
Martin Freeman plays Bilbo Baggins, while Richard Armitage plays Thorin Oakenshield. The film was adapted primarily from the concluding material of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, although Jackson and his collaborators expanded the adaptation with material connected to Tolkien’s wider mythology. Its working title was The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
