Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
When the lights go off the battle is on.
Directed by Shawn Levy
Produced by 21 Laps Entertainment, 1492 Pictures
A lighthearted, high-energy family adventure that trades on whimsy and spectacle, centered on a protagonist rescuing his magical museum friends from chaos.
Hapless museum night watchman Larry Daley must help his living, breathing exhibit friends out of a pickle now that they've been transferred to the archives at the Smithsonian Institution. Larry's (mis)adventures this time include close encounters with Amelia Earhart, Abe Lincoln and Ivan the Terrible.
