The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey centers on Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who-along with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and 13 Dwarves, led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) - is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome Dragon Smaug. Along the path, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of a "precious" ring tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways he cannot begin to know. Ken Stott, Graham McTavish, William Kircher, James Nesbitt, Stephen Hunter, Dean O'Gorman and Aidan Turner co-star

In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and the Dwarves continue their journey to reclaim the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Along the way they encounter the skin-changer Beorn (Mikael Persbrandt), giant Spiders of Mirkwood, Wood-elves led by Legolas (Orlando Bloom), Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly), and King Thranduil (Lee Pace), and a mysterious Man named Bard (Luke Evans), who smuggles them into Lake-town. Finally reaching the Lonely Mountain, they face their greatest danger - the Dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch).

The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies begins with The Dwarves of Erebor having reclaimed their homeland, but now must face the consequences of having unleashed the terrifying Dragon, Smaug, upon Lake-town. As Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor under the weight of his reclaimed wealth, Bilbo is forced to make a desperate and dangerous choice, not knowing that even greater perils lie ahead-Sauron, the Dark Lord, has returned to Middle-earth. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide-unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends as five great armies go to war.
