Eight-year old Kevin McCallister
(Macaulay Culkin) does not get along with anyone in his family, especially his
brother Buzz (Devin Ratray). When he
wishes that his family would disappear the night before a family trip, he gets
exactly what he wants. When Mr. and Mrs.
McCallister (John Heard and Catherine O’Hara) pack up and fly off with their
family to Paris, they forget one important thing—their son. Once they realize whom they’ve left, Peter
and Kate McCallister urgently try to book a flight back to Chicago. Meanwhile, Kevin enjoys the break from his
family and has his run of the McCallister home though his fun is short-lived. He must deal with Harry Lyme (Joe Pesci) and
Marv Merchants (Daniel Stern)—the Wet Bandits—who are bent on robbing his
family of all their prized possessions.
Home
Alone is every kid’s
