The Hunt for Gollum is a pivotal Middle-earth tale set before The Lord of the Rings, following Aragorn’s relentless pursuit of the twisted creature Gollum. At Gandalf’s urging, Aragorn tracks Gollum across the wild lands of Middle‑earth to uncover what he knows about the One Ring and prevent Sauron from learning its whereabouts. Spanning dark forests, mountains, and shadowed borders, the hunt reveals Gollum’s tragic past, deepens the danger surrounding the Ring, and sets crucial events in motion that lead directly into The Fellowship of the Ring.
