The adventures of Bilbo Baggins
Watch
J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved story come to life in The Hobbit trilogy movies. Follow the unlikely hobbit hero Bilbo Baggins as he leaves the comfort of the Shire for a perilous, magical quest that will test him to the limits. Recruited by the wizard Gandalf and a determined company of dwarves, Bilbo sets out to reclaim the lost dwarf kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. What starts as a simple journey soon becomes an epic tale of courage and discovery.
Across the three Hobbit films, Middle-earth unfolds in breathtaking detail, from the gentle, rolling hills of Hobbiton to the treacherous Misty Mountains. Bilbo encounters trolls, elves and goblins. But it's his fateful meeting with Gollum that changes the course of the adventure forever.
More than just one of the greatest fantasy stories of all time, The Hobbit trilogy is about friendship, bravery and stepping into a larger world. The bond between Bilbo and the dwarves grows with every challenge, while the shadow of greater evil looms ever closer in the background. Packed with humour, music, adventure and unforgettable good and evil characters, it’s an essential journey for fans of Tolkien and epic storytelling alike.
Three films of bravery and magic
All three films from director Peter Jackson's blockbuster prequel to '
The Lord of the Rings' trilogy.
Set in Middle-Earth 60 years before events in 'The Lord of the Rings', '
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' (2012) follows the adventures of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who, at the instigation of the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), suddenly finds himself co-opted into joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help reclaim the Dwarves' lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the clutches of a dragon. After setting out on their quest from the safety of Bag End, the band of travellers soon find themselves pitted against a range of strange and fearsome opponents, in addition to a small, slimy creature known simply as Gollum (Andy Serkis).
In '
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' (2013), while Gandalf heads south on his own, Bilbo, Thorin and the Dwarves enter the treacherous Mirkwood Forest on their way to the mountain. When they reach Lake-town Bilbo has to perform the role he was assigned at the start of the quest - to find a secret door that will lead him to the lair of Smaug the dragon (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch).
In the final instalment, '
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' (2014), Bilbo, Thorin and the other Dwarves have unintentionally released Smaug from the Lonely Mountain and endangered the residents of Lake-town. Bilbo has to make a difficult decision when Thorin puts his desire to find the royal jewel Arkenstone before his loyalty to his friends. Meanwhile, Gandalf discovers that the evil Sauron has returned, commanding a horde of Orcs to attack the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo and his friends must fight for their survival as five armies meet in battle. The rest of the cast includes Luke Evans, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly and Christopher Lee.
