In ''Secret of the Tomb'', security guard Larry Daley must travel to London to return the tablet of Ahkmenrah, an Egyptian artifact which causes the exhibits to come to life, before the magic disappears. The film premiered on December 11, 2014 at New York City's Ziegfeld Theater and was released in the United States on December 19, 2014.

The film is dedicated to Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams, both of whom died months after the film's principal photography ended. ==Plot== In 1938, in Egypt a team of archaeologists is searching for a tomb and its treasure. A young boy falls into it, calling to his father and the team; they discover a significant artifact, the tablet of Ahkmenrah. The locals tell them that if they remove the tablet, "the end will come". In present-day New York City, night guard Larry Daley and his favorite exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History, Theodore Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, Sacagawea, Dexter the Monkey, miniatures Jed and Octavius, and Pharaoh Ahkmenrah, which come to life every night, are hosting the reopening of the Hayden Planetarium. The museum has a new wax figure Neanderthal resembling Larry named Laaa. Ahkmenrah shows Larry that his tablet is corroding, which has adverse effects on the exhibits; they go berserk during the event, causing panic. Larry scolds the exhibits, and goes home to find his son Nicky throwing a party. Nicky isn't so sure about college and wants to take a year off to plan his own future. Larry discovers that former night watchman Cecil Fredericks was the boy who found the tablet in 1938. Larry reunites with Cecil and tells him about the tablet deteriorating. Cecil realizes that the locals' warning that "the end will come” meant that the tablet's magic would end. He mentions that Ahkmenrah's parents were sent to the British Museum. Larry, recalling Ahkmenrah said his father knew the tablet's secrets, knows he must speak with them, and asks Dr. McPhee to let him take Ahkmenrah and his tablet to London, even though Dr. McPhee was fired. He eventually yields to Larry's request, and pretends that he is still the museum director. Larry and Nicky travel to the museum. The security guard Tilly lets them in. When Larry enters, he sees his exhibit friends also came along. Laaa is instructed to stand guard while the others search for Ahkmenrah's parents. They encounter a Triceratops skeleton and a Xiangliu statue along the way, but a deluded wax figure replica of Sir Lancelot helps them fight off both exhibits. Meanwhile, Jed and Octavius fall into a ventilation shaft, landing in a Pompeii exhibit just before the model of the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupts. Dexter, who Larry sent to find them, appears and stops the volcano's flow to save them. The gang finds Ahkmenrah’s parents, and his father, Merenkahre, reveals the tablet was meant to keep his family together forever and is endowed with the power of Khonsu, god of the moon, and needs frequent exposure to moonlight to retain its magic. If the tablet doesn't get moonlight exposure soon, it will die, and so will the exhibits. Lancelot steals the tablet, then leaves to find his Lady Guinevere. The gang splits up to find Lancelot, but Tilly locks Larry and Laaa in the employee break room until Laaa head-butts the door open. The gang leaves the museum to continue the search while Laaa stays behind to keep Tilly detained, during which, they become attracted to each other. The Trafalgar Square lion statues corner them; Larry distracts the statues with his flashlight and the search continues. They catch up with Lancelot at a ''Camelot'' musical, starring Hugh Jackman as King Arthur and Alice Eve as Guinevere, chasing him to the roof. By now, the New York exhibits are dying. Lancelot, realizing the quest was about them, hands over the tablet; Larry readjusts it and the moon restores it, reviving the exhibits. Back at the museum, the New York exhibits decide that Ahkmenrah belongs there with his family, and should keep the tablet with him, even though that means they will no longer come to life at night. Lancelot has tamed the Triceratops skeleton from earlier, and Larry tells Tilly that tomorrow night she will have the best job ever. After returning to New York, Larry spends a final few moments with the exhibits before sunrise. Three years later, Larry has given up his job as a night watchman to become a teacher, and a traveling British Museum exhibition comes to the museum. Tilly gives the tablet to Dr. McPhee, who was reinstated after Larry took the blame for the chaos at the Hayden Planetarium reopening. She shows him that all the exhibits have come to life because of the tablet's power and are partying in the museum. Larry looks at the flashing party lights in the museum from across the street and smiles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
