The Hobbit Trilogy is a series of films that are prequels to the Lord of the Rings movies. Set sixty years before Frodo is given the One Ring, Bilbo Baggins is set on a task to help thirteen dwarves as they trek across Middle Earth to reclaim their kingdom from the dragon, Smaug. While a dragon is an intimidating villain for the heroes to contend with, there are plenty more obstacles on their journey in this fantasy tale.
