🎄 Plot Summary of Home Alone (1990)

Main Character:

  • Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin), an 8-year-old boy from a large, boisterous family.

🏠 The Setup

The McCallister family is preparing for a Christmas vacation to Paris. In the chaos of getting ready, Kevin gets into a fight with his older brother and is sent to sleep in the attic. That night, a power outage causes the family to oversleep.

✈️ The Mistake

In the rush to make their flight, the family accidentally leaves Kevin behind. They don't realize it until they're already on the plane to Paris. Meanwhile, Kevin wakes up to find the house empty and believes his wish—that his family would disappear—has come true.

🧠 Kevin Alone

At first, Kevin enjoys having the house to himself—eating junk food, jumping on beds, and watching movies he’s normally not allowed to. But soon, he must take on adult responsibilities like grocery shopping and doing laundry.

đŸŠč‍♂️ The Burglars: "The Wet Bandits"

Two burglars, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), target the McCallister house, assuming it's empty. But Kevin outsmarts them by rigging the house with a series of booby traps: heated doorknobs, icy stairs, swinging paint cans, and more.

đŸ”„ Climactic Showdown

In a chaotic and hilarious showdown, Kevin's traps leave the burglars bruised and battered. Eventually, they're caught by the police, thanks in part to Kevin's clever planning and a call for help.

👹‍đŸ‘©‍👧‍👩 The Reunion

Kevin’s mother, frantic to get back to him, travels by plane, then van, and finally returns home with the help of a kind polka band leader (played by John Candy). She arrives just in time for Christmas morning, followed by the rest of the family. Kevin doesn’t tell them about the burglars, and the film ends with him quietly enjoying the peace, knowing he's capable of more than anyone imagined.
