Ben Stiller returns for Shawn Levy's fantasy-adventure sequel, with the same impressive CGI effects as the first film. Two years on from when he was a museum nightwatchman, Larry Daley is now a successful businessman, and has been so busy that he's not had time to visit his secret chums at New York's Natural History Museum. And when he does finally make it, he discovers that many of them have been packed up and sent off for storage at the Smithsonian in Washington. Then Daley gets a call from Jebediah, one of the exhibits dispatched to Washington, to say that the evil Pharaoh Kahmunrah plans to take over the Smithsonian. Obviously, Daley has no choice but to dash to the capital and help his friends quash the megalomaniac's plans... Among those joining in with the CGI-fuelled fun are Amy Adams, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan and Ricky Gervais.
