"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; all the way through treacherous lands spilling over with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Even though 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 transform his life forever Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the inconspicuous Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of wiliness and guts that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and helpful qualities as a simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
