Hapless Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is in danger of losing his son, Nick (Jake Cherry). He’s not really concerned about his ex-wife, but Nick? That worries him. Especially when Nick mentions that he’s ready to hang up his hockey skates and start practicing to be a stockbroker, like his new dad, Don (Paul Rudd).
Spurred on by the thought of losing his son’s hockey career to the over-achieving Don – or at least to his utility belt of cell phones, Larry decides that he needs to get on with his life and do something. So begging for a job at the unemployment office, he begs for just about anything. What he gets is something that no one would have expected.
You see, Larry gets a job as a night watchman and the Museum of Natural History. And as they say, history has a way of coming to life. It’s never been more true than it is at this place after they lock the doors for the night.

In this release, the third installment of the series, the action gets more gruesome (as you would expect), but the basic premise is the same: A bunch of people are affected by the visions of one person. That person gets nervous about an event that is about to happen, and as such those people don’t die as they are supposed to, thus circumventing death’s design and laying the groundwork for the rest of the movie.
This movie loses touch with the first two in that there isn’t any connection, other than the fact that those who got off of an ill-fated roller coaster just before it plunged several students to their deaths manage to look up the initial incident on the internet (there is only a brief mention of the second group). But it stays fairly close to the basic premise of the series.
