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.
