Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out
of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining
a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin
Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through
treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant
Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the
East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape
the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his
life forever ... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an
underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths
ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of
Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities ...
A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in
ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

The
foreword, spoken by Galadriel, shows the Dark Lord Sauron forging the
One Ring in order to conquer the lands of Middle-earth. A Last Alliance
of Elves and Men is formed to counter Sauron's forces at the foot of
Mount Doom, but Sauron kills Elendil, the High King of Men. His son,
Prince Isildur grabs Elendil's broken sword Narsil, and slashes at
Sauron's hand, separating him from the Ring and vanquishing his army.
However, because Sauron's "life force" is bound to the Ring, he is not
completely defeated until the Ring itself is destroyed.
Isildur takes the Ring and succumbs to its temptation, refusing to
destroy it. He is later ambushed and killed by orcs, and the Ring is
lost in a river. The Ring is found by the creature Gollum thousands of
years later, who takes it underground for five centuries, giving him
"unnaturally long life." Since the Ring is bound to Sauron, it has a
will of its own and wants to be found. Therefore, the Ring consciously
leaves Gollum in its quest to be reunited with Sauron. However, it is
instead found by the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, much to the despair of
Gollum. Bilbo returns to his home in the Shire with the Ring, and the
story jumps forward in time sixty years...

The
film begins with a flashback set to the first film, with Gandalf
battling the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, but this time continues
from Gandalf's perspective, with the scene continuing to follow both as
they hurtle down below, fighting while in free-fall. Frodo awakens from
his dream and continues his journey with his trusted and loyal friend,
Sam. They are then attacked by the ring-possessed Gollum wishing to
retrieve "his precious" from the ones he thinks stole it from him. The
Hobbits subdue and bind him with Sam's Elven rope given to him by the
Elven elder Galadriel in Lórien. Sam distrusts Gollum and wishes to
abandon him, but Frodo understands the burden of the creature and takes
pity on him. Realizing they are lost in the Emyn Muil and in need of a
guide, Frodo persuades Gollum to lead them to the Black Gate of
Mordor...

The film begins with a flashback of how
Sméagol acquired the One Ring, before his degeneration and name change
to 'Gollum', taking Frodo and Sam to Minas Morgul. Aragorn, Legolas,
Gimli, Gandalf, Théoden and Éomer meet up with Merry, Pippin and
Treebeard at Isengard, now under the Ents' control, and Gandalf deduces
that Saruman will pose no further threat. They also recover the
palantír. Pippin's curiosity gets the better of him at Edoras, and he
looks into it. The vision he sees (of a dead white tree in a burning
stone courtyard) alerts Gandalf that Sauron is planning to attack Minas
Tirith, and he rides off there with Pippin. In Rivendell, on her way to
the Undying Lands, Arwen has a vision of her son by Aragorn and
convinces Elrond to reforge Narsil, the sword that cut the Ring from
Sauron's finger long ago. She then forsakes the gift of immortality to
be with Aragorn; her fate now rests with the outcome of the war.
