In Middle-earth, the Dark Lord Sauron created the Great Rings of Power, forged by Elven smiths. Three for Elf-kings, seven for Dwarf Lords, and nine for Mortal Men. Secretly, Sauron also forged a master ring, the One Ring, which contains within it the power to enslave all of Middle-earth. With the help of a group of friends and brave allies, Frodo sets out on a perilous journey to destroy the One Ring. But the Dark Lord Sauron, who created the Ring, sends his servants to chase the group. If Sauron succeeded in retrieving the Ring, it would be the end of Middle-earth.
The Company of the Ring has been disbanded. Ringbearer Frodo and his faithful friend Sam head towards Mordor to destroy the One Ring and end Sauron's power. Meanwhile, and after the hard battle against the orcs where Boromir fell, the man Aragorn, the elf Legolas and the dwarf Gimli try to rescue the halflings Merry and Pipin, kidnapped by the ogres of Mordor. For their part, Sauron and the traitor Saruman continue with their plans in Mordor, awaiting the war against the free races of Middle-earth.
Saruman's forces have been destroyed, and his fortress besieged. The time has come for the fate of Middle-earth to be decided, and for the first time in a long time, there seems to be a little hope. The attention of the dark lord Sauron is now focused on Gondor, the last stronghold of men, and of which Aragorn will have to claim the throne to occupy the position of king of him. But Sauron's forces are already preparing to launch the last and final attack against the kingdom of Gondor, the battle that will decide the fate of all. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam continue on their way to Mordor, hoping that Sauron will not notice that two little Hobbits are getting closer every day to the end of their path, Mount Doom.
Prequel to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien. In the company of the wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins embarks on a journey through the country of the elves and the forests of the trolls, from the dungeons of the orcs to the Lonely Mountain, where the dragon Smaug hides the treasure of the Dwarfs. Finally, in the depths of the Earth, he finds the One Ring, a hypnotic object that will later be the cause of so many bloody battles in Middle-earth.
After surviving the start of their unexpected journey, the Company continues east, encountering Beorn the Skinchanger along the way and a swarm of Giant Spiders on dangerous Mount Mirkwood. After avoiding capture by the Wood Elves, the Dwarves continue their journey towards Lake Town, finally reaching the Lonely Mountain, where they must face the greatest of dangers, a creature more terrifying than any other that will test their only the depth of their bravery but also the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey: the dragon Smaug.
Having retaken the kingdom from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has inadvertently unleashed an evil power. An enraged Smaug flies into Lake Town to wipe out all life. Obsessed above all with the reclaimed kingdom, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to keep him as Bilbo frantically tries to make him see why the hobbit is making a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. With no apparent help from the wizard Gandalf, his great enemy Sauron has sent legions of orcs towards the Lonely Mountain in a sneak attack. As darkness closes in on them, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide whether to unite or be destroyed. Bilbo will thus find himself in the epic battle of the Five Armies, where the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
