Synopsis

Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) returns for one final, globe-trotting adventure as the magic of the museum faces its greatest challenge yet. A newly uncovered artifact, imbued with ancient power, begins to unravel the delicate balance between history and magic, threatening not only the museum exhibits but the entire world.

Larry must reunite with his old friends—including Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams, via archival footage), Sacagawea (Mizuo Peck), and the troublemaking Dexter the monkey—while forging new alliances with legendary historical figures brought to life for the first time.
