Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire, has never been one for
adventures or excitement. That all changes one day when a wizard,
Gandalf, comes to Bilbo's front door. After Gandalf and Bilbo visit
for a while, Gandalf leaves, but not without putting a mark on Bilbo's
door. The next day, Bilbo is surprised and somewhat frustrated, he has
thirteen dwarves show up at his house! They propose a mission to
him... If he comes with them to take back their mountain, which is
under control of Smaug the dragon, he will get one-thirteenth of the
treasure found. And, so this starts their adventure.
