The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey


Rated: PG-13
Release Date: December 14

Adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved tale, and by the creative forces behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit follows the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) on his journey to the Lonely Mountain. Joined by the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellan) and a band of dwarves, they set off to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Along the way, they must contend with dangers like the goblin tunnels, where Baggins meets Gollum — a creature that will change his life, and the lives of countless others, forever.
