Synopsis

Many have enjoyed J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and the truly epic trilogy of films adapted by Peter Jackson from the book. But not everyone knows that the famous fantasy masterpiece was actually a sequel to another popular novel: The Hobbit. This story is about Bilbo Baggins, a curious hobbit who leaves the safety of the sleepy Shire to search for adventure and treasure in Middle-Earth's magical kingdom of wizards, dragons, goblins and trolls. Released ten years after The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won eleven Oscars, this spectacular prequel reveals how it all began.
