“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo, the hobbit that helps the band of dwarves–led by Thorin (Richard Armitage)–reclaim their homeland and treasure. The film also stars Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel, Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman and Ian McKellen as Gandalf. The film also features Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of the fearsome dragon Smaug as well as the Necromancer.

Here’s what you can expect from “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug”:

“Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all—a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself—the Dragon Smaug.”
