The film’s plot revolves around Larry Daley, a divorced father who takes a job as a night guard at the museum. On his first night, Larry discovers that the museum’s exhibits come to life after dark due to a magical Egyptian artifact known as the “Tablet of Ahkmenrah.” The tablet causes the museum’s displays, including historical figures, animals, and dioramas, to come alive and interact with each other.

Among the lively exhibits are historical figures like Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who becomes Larry’s ally, and various historical personalities including Attila the Hun, Cleopatra, and more. As Larry navigates the chaos and fun caused by the animated exhibits, he must also deal with the threat posed by the mischievous figure of ancient evil, who aims to use the tablet for his own nefarious purposes.

“Night at the Museum” combines humor with fantastical elements, making it a family-friendly film with broad appeal. It features a mix of comedy, adventure, and heartwarming moments, emphasizing themes of responsibility, imagination, and the importance of embracing one’s role.
