Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) thinks he’s destined for something big, despite being perpetually down on his luck. However, even he could never have imagined how “big” until he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at the museum of natural history. During Larry’s watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighbouring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he’s history’s fiercest predator! Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and ultimately save the museum.
