The Hobbit: The Prelude to The Lord of the Rings

Bilbo is the last person you'd expect to go on an adventure. He enjoys a quiet, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than his pantry. Until one day a wizard arrives on his doorstep.

Accompanied by a hand of dwarves, the wizard Gandalf asks Bilbo to join him on a quest to raid the treasure of the great dragon Smaug.

But to reach Smaug's lair under the Lonely Mountain, the adventures will have to travel into the wild, braving trolls and goblins, ancient magic and fiendish evil.

Bilbo's life will never be the same again.
