As Smaug breathes fire and destruction onto Laketown, another sort of dragon-danger threatens Thorin Oakenshield – the gold madness that seized his Grandsire Thror, King Under the Mountain of old. The people of Laketown flee to the ruins of Dale, in the shadow of the Lonely Mountain, only to be greeted by an army of Elves led by Thranduil, marching there too. Asking Thorin for their own fair share of the gold, Men and Elves are answered by Dwarvish defiance. Thorin seems overmatched until an army led by Dwarf-Lord Dain, Thorin’s kinsman, approaches from the Iron Hills to the northeast. Meantime, Gandalf, imprisoned in the ruins of Dol Guldûr, seems about to be finished off by the Nine Ring Wraiths, led by the deadliest of their lot, Witch King of the ancient, evil realm of Angmar. And what on Middle Earth will happen when an enormous army of Orcs and Wargs suddenly pours out of tunnels under the earth, surrounding and threatening doom to all the other armies gathered at the Lonely Mountain? Orcs and their Fell Beasts, Elves, Dwarves, Men – Five Armies join battle, and the result will determine the fate of the North in the gathering War of the Ring.

当斯穆格向湖镇喷火和毁灭之时，另一种龙的危险威胁着托林·奥肯希尔德——他的孙女、旧山下的国王被黄金疯狂夺走。湖镇的人们逃到了山谷的废墟，在孤山的阴影下，却受到了由索兰迪尔率领的精灵军队的欢迎，他们也在那里行进。向索林索要他们应得的黄金份额，男人和精灵得到了矮人般的反抗。托林似乎势均力敌，直到一支由托林的亲戚矮人领主丹率领的军队从铁山向东北方向靠近。与此同时，甘道夫被囚禁在多尔·古尔德尔的废墟中，似乎即将被九环幽灵所终结，九环幽灵是他们命运中最致命的，古老邪恶王国安格马尔的女巫王。当一大群兽人和兽人突然从地下隧道涌出，包围并威胁着聚集在孤山的所有其他军队时，中土世界会发生什么？兽人和他们倒下的野兽、精灵、矮人、男人——五支军队加入战斗，结果将决定北方在魔戒集结战中的命运。
