‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’
Print Edition
This epic fantasy adventure film, directed by Peter Jackson, is the second installment of a three-part film adaptation based on the 1937 novel “The Hobbit” by J. R. R. Tolkien.
It was preceded by “An Unexpected Journey” (2012) and will conclude with “There and Back Again” (2014), and together they act as a prequel to Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
“The Desolation of Smaug” is set in Middle Earth 60 years before the events of “The Lord of the Rings,” and portions of the film are adapted from the appendices to Tolkien’s “The Return of the King.”
Bilbo Baggins continues his journey with the Wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, on an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all-a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself-the Dragon Smaug.
