　　剧情简介：

　　Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin&aposs series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. The episodes are mainly written by Benioff and Weiss, who are the executive producers alongside Martin, who writes one episode per season. Filmed in a Belfast studio and on location elsewhere in Northern Ireland, Malta, Scotland, Croatia, Iceland, the United States and Morocco, it premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011. Two days after the fourth season premiered in April 2014, HBO renewed Game of Thrones for a fifth and sixth season.

　　Game of Thrones has attracted record numbers of viewers on HBO and obtained an exceptionally broad and active international fan base. It received widespread acclaim by critics, although its frequent use of nudity, violence and sexual violence has attracted criticism. The series has won numerous awards and nominations, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series for its first four seasons, a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series – Drama, a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation in both Long Form and Short Form, and a Peabody Award. Among the ensemble cast, Peter Dinklage won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film for his role as Tyrion Lannister.

　　Game of Thrones roughly follows the three storylines of A Song of Ice and Fire. Set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the series chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the realm&aposs noble families for control of the Iron Throne. As the series opens, additional threats emerge in the icy North and in the eastern continent of Essos.

　　The novels and their adaptation derive settings, characters and plot elements from much of European history.A principal inspiration for the novels were the English Wars of the Roses (1455–85) between the houses of Lancaster and York, rlected in Martin&aposs houses of Lannister and Stark. Most of Westeros, with its castles and knightly tournaments, is reminiscent of High Medieval Western Europe. The scheming Cersei, for instance, calls to mind Isabella (1295–1358), the "she-wolf of France". She and her family, as depicted in Maurice Druon&aposs historical novel series The Accursed Kings, particularly inspired Martin. The series also combines such varied inspirations as Hadrian&aposs Wall (which became Martin&aposs great Wall), the fall of Rome and the legend of Atlantis (ancient Valyria), Byzantine "Greek fire" ("wildfire"), Icelandic sagas of the Viking Age (the Ironborn) and the steppe nomads (a more primitive version of the Mongol hordes) (the Dothraki), as well as elements from the Hundred Years&apos War (1337–1453) and the Italian Renaissance (c. 1400–1500).[6]

　　The series&apos great popularity has in part been attributed to Martin&aposs skill at fusing these disparate elements into a seamless whole that appears credible on its own terms as an alternative history."The Sopranos in Middle-earth" is the tagline showrunner David Benioff jokingly suggested for Game of Thrones, rerring to its intrigue-filled plot and dark tone combined with a fantasy setting. In a 2012 study, the series was listed second out of 40 recent U.S. TV drama series by deaths per episode, with an average of 14.

　　权力的游戏是一部中世纪史诗奇幻题材的电视连续剧。该剧以美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁的奇幻巨作《冰与火之歌》系列为基础改编创作，由大卫·贝尼奥夫和丹尼尔·威斯(D. B. Weiss)编剧、HBO有线电视联播网推出。剧集第一集在2011年4月17日晚首次公映。该电视剧一上映即获得极高的评价。HBO在2011年4月19日播出第一季第一集后随即签下该电视剧的第二季。第二季于2012年4月1日正式上映，上映后反响强烈。目前HBO已播映四季，并且已经签下第五和第六季。

　　权力的游戏紧紧围绕《冰与火之歌》系列的故事情节，作者马丁表示该剧非常忠于自己的著作。故事设置在维斯特洛的七个王国，那里“夏天持续数十年，冬天能持续一辈子”，权力的游戏主要讲述王国的七个贵族家族争夺铁王座的权力斗争;在剧集之初，来自维斯特洛北部区域的冰雪以及狭海以东大陆的威胁逐步加重。
