Throwback Thursday Movie Showcase: Pharaoh Loves the Jews in "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb"

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is a 2014 American fantasy comedy film directed by Shawn Levy and written by David Guion and Michael Handelman. 

It is the third (and final live-action) installment in the Night at the Museum film series, a sequel to Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), and the final installment in the original trilogy. 

The film stars Ben Stiller in the lead role, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Dan Stevens and Ben Kingsley as the Pharaoh.  

In the film, 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. 

In an encounter with the Pharaoh Ben Stiller has a funny exchange with Ben Kingsley in which they make oblique references to the Jewish enslavement in Egypt, the Exodus, and the Passover Seder.

Enjoy!
