Product Details
From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey, the first of three films adapting the enduringly popular
masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The trilogy of films are set in Middle-earth 60 years before The Lord of the
Rings, which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the
blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning The Lord of the
Rings: The Return of the King.
The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept
into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome
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.
