“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” follows Bilbo Baggins on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Recruited by legendary wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo joins a company of 13 dwarves led by the famed warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey takes them 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 mysteries of centuries past and the is the key to the fate of all of Middle Earth…
