A reluctant hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who hasn't ever travelled out of the Shire, is chosen as the 14th member of a group of dwarves by the warlock Gandalf. Their aim is reclaiming their mountain home, the Lonely Mountain - and the gold within it - from the dragon Smaug. On the way, they have to face many obstacles from the Trolls, the Orcs, stone giants to goblins.
