If this is to finish in fire, and so we will all burn together.
—Thorin Oakenshield
Thorin with his sword, Orcrist
In the 2012, 2013, and 2022 live-action films, Thorin is portrayed by Richard Armitage. The studio released the following statement about Thorin in the trilogy:
As a young Dwarf Prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a swell fire-animate dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of the Lonely Mount. When no 1 came to the assist of the surviving Dwarves, a once proud and noble race was forced into exile. Now, as the potent, fearless fighter and respected leader of The Company of Dwarves, Thorin is determined to reclaim his homeland and destroy the beast that brought such misery upon his people.
—The Hobbit
In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journeying, Thorin has a long standing grudge with King Thranduil for non helping his grandfather save Erebor from Smaug and for not offer any assist to the refugees afterward. This makes him extremely bitter toward the elves to the point that he almost rejected Orcrist upon discovering it. Thorin is also seen wielding a short sword chosen 'Deathless' during the first part of the movie equally well as a metal battle-axe.
A sub-plot in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) is the Orc warlord Azog'southward pursuit of Thorin, to wipe out the House of Durin. In contrast to Tolkien'due south mythos, in which Dáin Ironfoot beheaded Azog long before the events of The Hobbit, in the movie Thorin slices off Azog's arm at the Battle of Azanulbizar and Azog survives to pursue Thorin and Company for revenge during The Quest of Erebor.
Every bit seen in the offset film, Thorin earns his epithet Oakenshield during his fight confronting Azog at the battle of Azanulbizar where he used an oaken co-operative as both a weapon and shield. In the 2d film, Thorin has Orcrist taken from him by Legolas following the battle with the spiders of Mirkwood and the party's capture past the Wood-Elves. Thorin would subsequently obtain a human long sword for the raid on Erebor from Lake-town'due south armory.
In the first two films, Thorin is seen with unlike kinds of weapons bated Orcrist; he wields an axe, swords, bow, and an oaken branch.
In the films, he is portrayed rather friendly, but hostile to the Elves and suspicious of Bilbo. However in movie two, he becomes more adamant to gain the Arkenstone and the treasure. This led to him becoming increasingly determined to have information technology, even willing to allow Bilbo dice rather than adventure the quest fail. When Balin realized that Thorin was non himself, he believed that the sickness had fallen onto his companion and convinced him to enter. When he learned that Bilbo didn't have the Arkenstone, he menacingly walked towards him and put the sword out towards him, as if he intended to impale him, just to be stopped when he noticed Smaug.
Bye, Principal Burglar. Go back to your books... and your armchair. Plant your trees... watch them abound. If more people valued home above gold, this world would be a merrier place.
—The Hobbit: Battle of the 5 Armies
In the concluding film, Balin recognizes that Thorin has utterly succumbed to dragon sickness, and confides this tearfully to Bilbo. Thorin even begins to talk like Smaug, slowly, stressing sibilant syllables. He repeatedly berates and shouts at his followers, almost strangling Bilbo to death on the revelation that he gave the Arkenstone to Bard and Thranduil and afterwards banishes and threatens to kill Dwalin. When the battle breaks out, he refuses to help the Elves, men of Dale, or even his cousin Dáin against the Orcs, and he barricades himself in the mount, along with his visitor, who by now clearly follow his orders out of loyalty solitary rather than dearest. Dwalin eventually confronts Thorin on his throne, who accuses him of being a lesser man since he crowned himself rex. This caused Thorin to lash out simply he slowly begins to intermission out of the dragon sickness consuming him.
However, he somewhen comes to his senses after experiencing a hallucination of Smaug underneath a solid gold floor created from their endeavor to kill him, casting off his grandfather'due south crown and robes, he leads his relieved company to reinforce Dáin's forces who rally around their rightful King and button back against the Orcs. It becomes clear, nevertheless, that they are nonetheless outnumbered, and the departure of Rex Thranduil renders the defenders even weaker. Thorin decides to accept his best warriors, Dwalin, Fíli and Kíli, and become to Ravenhill, intending to kill Azog and plunge the Orcs into disarray, peradventure securing victory.
Nonetheless, upon finding the Orcish command mail service upon Ravenhill'south ruined towers seemingly abased, Thorin, wary of the situation, sends Fíli and Kíli to scout the towers, alarm them not to engage. Bilbo and then arrives, too belatedly, warning Thorin that he is caught in an ambush. Fíli is trapped by Orcs and turned over to Azog, who reveals himself to Thorin, impaling Fíli and throwing him from the top of 1 of the towers. Thorin enters, intending to rescue Kíli, who is instead impaled past Bolg. Thorin himself only survives due to aid from Legolas, who kills Bolg. Thorin finally throws down with Azog on the border of a frozen waterfall. Wielding a brick on a chain as a flail, Azog eventually smashes the ice, only to fall into the water and seemingly drown due to the weight of his own weapon. However, Azog floats back to the surface, and stabs Thorin in the human foot from nether the water ice. While he is incapacitated, Azog re-emerges, fatally wounding him in the chest, only to exist stabbed by Thorin in plow, who completely impales Azog, killing him immediately. Thorin survives long enough to be found by Bilbo and has time to brand peace with Bilbo and say a final adieu before succumbing to his wounds. The surviving members of the company afterward kneel by his body as a mark of respect before he is eventually entombed with Orcrist and the Arkenstone.
Weapons
In Peter Jackson's films, Thorin begins his quest with his sword, axe, and oak-branch shield. He wielded his sword, Deathless, against the trolls, but was forced to surrender, when the trolls threatened kill Bilbo. Thorin later recovered his sword after Gandalf saved them. Later, Thorin discovered an elven bract in the troll'south hoard. Reluctant at showtime, Thorin later keeps the bract when Gandalf tells him that it would exist the best he could find. It is unknown what happens to his original sword, but it is presumed that he left it in the troll hoard, as it is not seen once again after that. Thorin wields the sword during the orc chase, and slays a warg with it. When the visitor travels to Rivendell, Elrond tells Thorin that his sword'due south proper name is Orcrist.
While traveling from Rivendell to the Misty Mountains, Thorin'south axe is seen as more of a walking axe, and so a boxing axe. After the visitor is captured past goblins, Orcrist is taken past them. When the dwarves are brought before the goblin king, Grinnah finds Orcrist, alerting the other goblins of its presence, and orders the dwarves' execution over it. When Gandalf saves the dwarves, Nori gives Orcrist to Thorin, which he injures the Goblin King with. It is presumed that when the dwarves escape, Thorin loses his axe, as it is not seen again. In his battle against Azog, Thorin uses Orcrist and his oak-branch against him. When the eagles salvage the group, Thorin drops his oak-co-operative as an eagle picks him upwards. Thorin is not seen using Orcrist until Mirkwood, where he uses it to slay many spiders, until Mirkwood elves capture them. Legolas confiscates Orcrist, and the company is captured. When the dwarves escape from the orcs in the butt chase, Thorin takes swords and axes from the orcs, dropping them as he slays the orcs. After the company gets help from Lake-Boondocks, Thorin uses a sword when they get to the Lonely Mountain. In the Boxing of the 5 Armies, Thorin fires a warning shot at Thranduil, telling him not to approach him. Thorin leads the company into the Battle of the Five Armies with a sword and a shield, with which he slays many orcs. Thorin briefly fights Azog on Ravenhill, where he fends off a pack of Goblin mercenaries with a dagger, and the help of Legolas.
In the final battle, Thorin fights Azog with Orcrist, which he recovered from Legolas. Azog attempts to stab Thorin, but is prevented when Thorin uses Orcrist to cake his blade. In the cease, Thorin gives in, and is stabbed by Azog. Withal, Thorin impales Azog back, and thrusts Orcrist into him so hard that the bract pierces the ice beneath them. At his funeral, Thorin is buried with Orcrist, forth with the Arkenstone.
