What is the main plot of "Fantastic Night at the Museum 2"?

Larry (Ben Stiller) is a night security guard at the new york Museum of Natural History. After driving away three crazy old colleagues who tried to steal from him, he managed to live a comfortable life for two days and saved the museum collection full of fun at night. His son not only regarded him as a hero, but also fell in love with him, and his job was upgraded to a glamorous CEO of an invention company. However, the good times did not last long, and the museum was closed for renovation, and the collection was moved to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington for further exhibition.

When Larry knew, he hurried to the museum. Trying to stop the transfer of the collection, but all the collections except Roosevelt's wax figure will be permanently sealed by the Smithsonian Museum. But the plaque used to wake up the collection remains in the Natural History Museum. But what he didn't expect was that the monkey stole the plaque. The evil Pharaoh Kamanla (Hank Jalia) uses Napoleon, Ivan the Terrible and Al Kabon to try to use the power of the plaque to awaken Kamanla's underground army and rule the world. . . .

Although Larry got the help of Amelia Earhart (amy adams), the first heroine to fly across the Atlantic, and even the statue of Lincoln lowered herself and urged the two sides to reconcile, the Smithsonian Museum was full of vicious characters, not only huge dinosaur fossils and mammoths, but also the gangster Al Kabon in the 1920s and 1930s and Darth Vader in Star Wars. Larry, on the other hand, helped more and more, and fell into a tragic situation that was difficult to protect himself. What about his old and new friends and ambitious Pharaoh?

[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes

There is a hidden rule in filming a sequel, that is, it must be bigger and stronger. If you don't believe me, Lohan 1 1 is followed by Lohan 12 and Lohan 13, not shabby Lohan 10 or four Lohan. In Pirates of the Caribbean, there is only one real pirate captain Barbossa and a lonely pirate captain, Jack Sparrow. In Pirates of the Caribbean 3, nine pirate kings were born. For Sean Levi, the director of "Fantastic Night at the Museum", when he decided to shoot this sequel, he didn't have much choice, because there were only a handful of guys bigger than the new york Museum of Natural History. It can even be said that after the audience's appetite was hung by the first film, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington became his only choice. Why the Smithsonian Museum? Because the Smithsonian is the largest museum with the largest collection in the world. These two words are not compliments, but must be used here. Strictly speaking, the Smithsonian Museum is not a museum, but a museum system with 19 semicolons and a total collection of 65438+37 million pieces.

In view of the importance of the Smithsonian Museum in the film and its popularity will increase greatly after the film is released, it is necessary to explain its origin in detail here. 1826, British scientist james smithso wrote a will and donated his property and collection worth about 500,000 US dollars to the US government. At that time, the amount of this property was amazing. 10 years later, US President andrew jackson accepted the donation on behalf of the US government and handed it over to Congress for disposal. 1846, Smithsonian institution was founded. Its main function is to manage the Smithsonian's legacy and open a museum.

188 1 year, the first Smithsonian Museum of Art and Industry was built and opened. In the following 100 year, with the support of the government, different kinds of Smith museums, art galleries and zoos were built one after another, among which 14 was located in national mall, Washington, which is located between the Washington Monument and the Capitol.

14 Among the Smith Museum, the National Museum of Natural History built in191has1250,000 pieces, covering an area equivalent to 18 standard football fields, with more than 100 employees. So there is no doubt that the main battlefield of "Fantastic Night at the Museum 2" is this behemoth.

The National Museum of Natural History has no tradition of cooperating with Hollywood. The Smithsonian Institution allowed "Fantastic Night at the Museum 2" to be filmed in the museum only after the production company used both hard and soft methods, thus becoming the first film to be filmed in the National Museum of Natural History. But the crew didn't get much privilege. They had to shoot according to the Smithsonian Institution's regulations, that is, they could only shoot during the day when the museum was open, and they couldn't clear the room. Director Sean Levi said: "It's like performing live for an audience in a theater, because when Ben (Stiehler) was alive and kicking in front of the camera, hundreds of people came to visit the museum a few steps away." Stiehler also thinks it brings him a lot of fun, because this scene reminds him of his feelings when he performed live in the club in his early years.
