Game of Thrones (Film)

What the show is all about

Game of Thrones is an HBO series that tells the story of a medieval country's civil war. The series, which premiered in April 2011, is set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos in a world where seasons stretch on for years.

The plot

The show is divided into three major plot lines. The first covers the battle between the lords of the continent of Westeros — most notably members of the Baratheon, Lannister, and Stark families — who are involved in the fight for the Iron Throne. The second follows the rise of Daenerys Targaryen, the last member of an exiled family as she builds an army in Essos to reclaim the throne. The third plot takes place in the North of Westeros among the Night's Watch, an armed unit that guards the 300-mile-long, 70-foot-tall wall that protects the rest of the continent from the mythical creatures that lurk there.

The fifth season of Game of Thrones premiered on April 12, 2015. It airs Sunday nights at 9 pm Eastern on HBO.

Where did the show come from?

The story told in Game of Thrones was adapted by series writers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss from George R. R. Martin's fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire. Martin published the first book of the series, Game of Thrones, in 1996. The book was originally intended to be the first part of a trilogy, each following one of the three major plot lines, but as Martin wrote, the story expanded into what he now expects to be a seven-book series. Today, Martin's novels have been translated into 20 languages and have sold more than 24 million copies in the United States alone.

Who are the main characters in Game of Thrones?

New fans of Game of Thrones often complain about the enormous number of characters to keep straight. While it's true that the show has hundreds of characters, there are only a few who truly matter. Many of the characters on the show are so supplementary that many viewers don't even know their names.

Even with all of those characters removed, however, there are too many to list on a single page. We will break them down by houses over a series of cards. The list includes:

• 
  The Starks
  
• 
  The Lannisters
  
• 
  The Baratheons
  
• 
  The Tyrells
  
• 
  The Greyjoys
  
• 
  The Targaryens
