''Night at the Museum'' is a 2006 American adventure comedy film. It is based on a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. It follows a divorced father trying to settle down, impress his son, and find his destiny. He applies for a job as a night watchman at New York City's American Museum of Natural History and subsequently discovers that the exhibits, animated by a magical Egyptian artifact, come to life at night.
 
Released on December 22, 2006, by 20th Century Fox, the film was written by Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon of Comedy Central's ''[[Reno 911|Reno 911!]]'' and MTV's ''[[The State]]'', and directed by Shawn Levy. [[All-Star Cast|The cast includes]] [[Ben Stiller]], [[Robin Williams]], [[Dick Van Dyke]], Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs, Paul Rudd, Ricky Gervais, [[Carla Gugino]], Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson. A new novelization of the screenplay by Leslie Goldman was published as a film tie-in.
 
The sequel, subtitled ''Battle of the Smithsonian'', was released in May 2009. Here, as the New York museum is being renovated many exhibits are stored in the Smithsonian. This brings with them a whole other genre of problems as well as some other features of the Egyptian artifact.

** When Custer is knocked off the motorcycle early on, he tells Larry to keep going with, [[The Lord of the Rings (film)|"Fly, you fool!"]]
* [[Sidekick Ex Machina]]: Ahkmenrah owns the tablet which made the whole exhibits alive, but he doesn't gain a lot of screen-time, ''especially'' in the second movie.
* [[Sliding Scale of Living Toys]]: The exhibits are either Level 4 or 5. Well, except the [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|mummies]].
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Good God, ''Larry'' between the first and second films.
** To the point where the last fight with Kahmunrah is not only his Greatest [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moment]], but it's actually much more epic than what it actually should be. Just ''watch it'', and you'll know what I'm talking about.
** The first film explained that the older janitors became [[Badass Grandpa|Badass Grandpas]] because of dealing with the museum exhibits. Between films Larry gained those same skills in a younger body.
