Bilbo Baggins has no experience of burglary when Gandalf recommends him for a place in a company of dwarves seeking a dragon’s treasure. Far from his comfortable home, he has to negotiate encounters with trolls, goblins, and creatures that cannot simply be fought. As the dwarves come to depend on his ingenuity, Bilbo finds that helping them does not always mean agreeing with them.

Smaug turns his fury on Lake-town while Thorin takes possession of the treasure beneath the Lonely Mountain. As survivors and elves demand a share, Thorin’s growing suspicion leaves Bilbo trying to prevent a war between people who should be allies. An approaching orc army makes the dispute more dangerous, with the mountain becoming the focus of a much larger attack.

Gandalf recruits Bilbo Baggins to accompany thirteen dwarves on a journey to reclaim their mountain home from the dragon Smaug. Their leader, Thorin Oakenshield, doubts that the sheltered hobbit can survive the road, let alone help him regain a kingdom. Pursued by an orc with a grievance against Thorin, the company heads into mountains where Bilbo becomes separated from his companions.

With Gandalf pursuing a danger elsewhere, Bilbo and the dwarves must cross Mirkwood without his protection. Spiders, imprisonment by the Wood-elves, and a difficult passage through Lake-town threaten their chance of reaching the Lonely Mountain in time. Thorin’s claim to the kingdom ultimately depends on Bilbo entering its treasure chamber, where Smaug is still waiting.
