Storyline
In New York, unemployed and divorced Larry Daley is
a complete loser. His son Nick is very disappointed
with his father who is going to be evicted. Larry
accepts the job of night watchman in the Museum of
Natural History and takes the place of three old
security guards that have just retired in order to raise
some money and pay his bills. On his first shift, Larry
soon realizes that everything at the museum is not as
it seems as the statues begin to come to life after the
sun sets. The Museum transforms into complete chaos
with the inexperienced Larry in charge as he learns
that an old Egyptian stone that came to the Museum
in 1950 brings these statues to life until dawn. When
Larry brings his son to spend a night with him, the
three old guards break into the Museum to try to steal
the magical stone. Larry organizes all the historic
characters to help him stop the criminals and save the
museum.
