Synopsis:
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” follows title
character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the
lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon
Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo
finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the
legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into
the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs,
deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although
their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain,
first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the
creature that will change his life forever… Gollum. Here, alone with
Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo
Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise
even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that
holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied
to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
