Synopsis

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.
