NIGHT AT THE WAX MUSEUM tells the fun, madcap story about 6 unlucky students who have to go to summer school for history. Their summer school teacher has arranged for the students to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project. Though the students' eyes glaze over with boredom, there's a twinkle in the wax figures' eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra's bracelet brings them to life! King Henry VIII finds himself smitten with Cleopatra, making his queen, Anne Boleyn, furious. When Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Blackbeard, and lady pirates show up, everybody's out for one thing - treasure! Supposedly, there's a mighty valuable one hidden in the museum! It's a wild goose chase to find it, with a greedy museum landlord and her bumbling son joining in the mad search. Join the hilarious fun as treasure-hungry outlaws, pirates and royalty mount the greatest siege since Vicksburg!
