NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: Battle Of The Smithsonian (2009)




“When the lights go off, the battle is on.”

When the Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, the museum pieces are moved into federal storage at the famous Washington Museum.

The centrepiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world’s largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) flew on her non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone’s rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy’s ruby red slippers and Archie Bunker’s lounge chair.

Security guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) infiltrates the Smithsonian Institute in order to rescue Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and Octavius (Steve Coogan), who have been shipped to the museum by mistake.

Fact : This movie is the sequel of “Night at the Museum” (2006).

Note : Ben Stiller is a major fan of Tom Cruise and has impersonated Tom for many years. He even portrayed Tom Cruise’s fictitious crazed stunt double, Tom Crooze, on 2000 MTV Movie Awards (2000) on a segment called “Mission: Improbable”. This segment is included on the “Mission: Impossible II” (2000) DVD. Tom and Ben have been friends ever since 1996.
