You could use dbpedia SPARQL endpoint to run query. For example:

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?film ?description ?film_name WHERE {
    ?film rdf:type <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Film>.
    ?film foaf:name ?film_name.
    ?film rdfs:comment ?description .
    FILTER (LANG(?description)='it' && ?film_name="Transformers"@en)
}
