Lore:
While trying to escape Mirkwood, the Dwarves are captured by the Elves, but Bilbo avoids capture by wearing the Ring. He discovers that a stream flows underneath the palace out to the river beyond the cave, and empty wine barrels are dropped through trapdoors under the palace to float down the river to nearby Lake-town. He steals keys from a prison guard and frees the Dwarves, and presents them with an escape plan: To hide in empty wine barrels.
In the books Bilbo packs the Dwarves in the barrels and they are tossed through the trapdoors into the stream below. Still invisible, Bilbo clings to a barrel and floats with them to where the stream joins the river and washes ashore. The next morning, he sees that the barrels have been bound together as a raft and he hops aboard as they continue to float toward Lake-town.
In the movie the barrel ride is a more action-packed sequence featuring a battle with Orcs and Elves while on the barrels. The scene was filmed on the Pelorus River in New Zealand.
