Night has fallen upon the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The guides have gone home, the lights are out, the school kids are tucked in their beds . . . In this second installment of the Night at the Museum saga, former night guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) faces a battle so epic it could only unfold in the corridors of the world’s largest museum.

The fun begins as Larry is drawn back to his old haunt, the Museum of Natural History, where he once had the magical night of a lifetime. There, he discovers that his favorite exhibits, indeed some of his truest friends, have been deemed out-of-date, packed into crates, and are awaiting shipment to the vast archives of the Smithsonian.

Then Larry receives a distress call from the miniature cowboy Jedediah (Owen Wilson): it seems the newcomers have awoken in their new digs, including the Egyptian ruler, Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria), and a trio of history’s most heinous henchmen – namely Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest), Napoleon Bonaparte (Alain Chabat) and Al Capone (Jon Bernthal) – who are plotting to take over the museum (and then the globe).

Larry is clearly in over his head, but he’s got some impressive new friends – Albert Einstein, honest Abe Lincoln, and the irrepressible Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams)-- to help. Along with his old buddies, including Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Octavius (Steve Coogan), Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck), Attila The Hun (Patrick Gallagher) and the Neanderthals -- Larry will stop at nothing to regain his friends and restore order to the National Mall.
