Home Alone

Home Alone is a popular 1990 holiday film starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, an eight year-old who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to France for a Christmas vacation.

Plot

After accidentally getting left behind when his family goes on a Christmas vacation in France, Kevin McCallister experiences what it is like to be independent for the first time. This independance has some good sides (such as being able to sleep in his parents' king-sized bed) and some bad sides (such as having to go into the scary basement alone). The last third of the movie deals with Kevin's discovery of the Wet Bandits' plans to loot his house and how he stops them from achieving this goal by using Rube Goldberg-style traps and humiliations before the cops arrive and arrest them.
