Following Smaug's attack on Laketown, Bilbo and the dwarves try to defend Erebor's mountain of treasure from others who claim it: the men of the ruined Laketown and the elves of Mirkwood. Meanwhile an army of Orcs led by Azog the Defiler is marching on Erebor, fueled by the rise of the dark lord Sauron. Dwarves, elves and men must unite, and the hope for Middle-Earth falls into Bilbo's hands.

— Critical consensus, summarised
A more focused finale that critics found marginally tighter than the previous two. The titular battle is impressively staged; the Tauriel-Kili romance subplot remains a divisive Jackson invention.
