Night has fallen upon the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The guides have gone home, the lights are out, the school kids are tucked in their beds . . . yet something incredible is stirring as former night guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) finds himself lured into his biggest, most imagination-boggling adventure yet in which history truly comes alive. In this second installment of the Night at the Museum saga, Larry faces a battle so epic it could only unfold in the corridors of the world’s largest museum. Now, Larry must try to save his formerly inanimate friends from what could be their last stand amid the wonders of the Smithsonian, all of which, from the famous paintings on the walls to the rocket ships in the halls, suddenly have a mind of their own.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian marks the first action-adventure film ever shot at the nation’s premiere museum complex, the Smithsonian Institution, the largest and most visited museum in the world.

Twentieth Century Fox’s Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is directed by Shawn Levy, written by Robert Ben Garant & Thomas Lennon, and starring Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Hank Azaria, Christopher Guest, Alain Chabat, Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Bill Hader and Robin Williams.

Tackling the extraordinary task of bringing the Smithsonian to life is an inventive creative team that includes the return of production designer Claude Paré, editors Dean Zimmerman and Oscar®-nominated Don Zimmerman, A.C.E. and Oscar and Golden Globe® nominated composer Alan Silvestri; along with Academy Award® nominated director of photography John Schwartzman, ASC (National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Seabiscuit), costume designer Marlene Stewart (Tropic Thunder) and visual effects supervisor Dan Deleeuw, who created the African animals and Rexy in the original Night at the Museum.
