What Is the Plot of Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again?

The original live-action Night at the Museum trilogy tells the story of Larry Daley, a newly divorced father who lands a job as a night guard at the American Museum of Natural History. Larry, played by Ben Stiller, wrongfully assumes that the job will be easy and finds out that an ancient spell has allowed the exhibits of the museum to come to life at night. In the second film, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Dexter the monkey steals the tablet of Egyptian Pharoah Akhmenrah when several exhibits are transferred to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Akhmenrah’s evil older brother, Kahmunrah, is resurrected, and it’s up to Larry to break into the museum and get the tablet back from him.

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again is the first 2D animated film produced by Walt Disney Pictures since the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh. According to the trailer, it’s the summer, and Larry is going away, so he needs someone to stand in for him on the night shift at the museum. The exhibits purposefully scare off the new recruits because they want Larry’s son, Nick, to take over for him while he’s gone. Nick is reluctant to take on the role, and while working, he forgets the crucial rule: not to leave the basement door unlocked. It appears that this is how Kahmunrah makes his escape, now even more determined to take over the world. It is up to Nick and the exhibits to stop Kamunrah before he can succeed. Nick will be assisted by a number of familiar characters, including Teddy Roosevelt, Sacagawea, Jebediah, and Octavius.

The Cast of Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again

In his first voiceover role, Joshua Bassett stars as Nick Daley. Bassett currently stars as Ricky Bowen in the Disney+ original series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. He has appeared on several television shows, including Celebrity Family Feud, Grey’s Anatomy, and Dirty John. It will be interesting to see how Joshua Bassett performs off-screen, however, we do not doubt that we will ace this role, and bring Nick Daley to life. Recently, Disney and Pixar have been giving more and more opportunities to actors turned voice-actors and it has been refreshing to see, one such example is Pixar’s upcoming movie Elemental.

Other than Joshua Bassett, there will be several other cast members whose voices you will have the pleasure of listening and those include:

• Jamie Demetriou as Dr. McPhee
• Jack Whitehall as Octavius
• Zachary Levi as Larry Daley
• Joseph Kamal as Kahmunrah
• Gillian Jacobs as Erica
• Steve Zahn as Jedediah
• Alice Isaaz as Joan of Arc
• Thomas Lennon as Theodore Roosevelt
• Dee Bradley Baker as Dexter
• Kieran Sequoia as Sacagawea
• Chris Parnell as George Washington

You might recognize a lot of these names from Hollywood as well as British cinema and tv, but it will be interesting to see if you can recognize their voices in Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again.
