This Christmas, it won't be a silent night
Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley, despite being perpetually down on
his luck, thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could
never have imagined how big, when he accepts what appears to be a
menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a 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 neighboring 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, who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop
a nefarious plot, and save the museum.
