description |
Eight
year
old
Kevin
MacAllister
(Macaulay
Culkin)
gets
lost
in
the
shuffle
as
his
large,
upper-middle
class
suburban
family
rushes
to
make
a
plane
that
will
ferry
them
off
to
their
Christmas
vacation
in
France;
Kevin,
having
been
banished
to
an
attic
room
as
punishment,
is
subsequently
forgotten.
At
first
this
is a
dream
come
true,
as
for
the
first
time
in
his
young
life
he
has
no
one
to
answer
to
but
himself,
and
he
takes
full
advantage
of
his
newfound
freedom,
eating
junk
food
and
watching
late-night
horror
flicks.
But
when
the
bumbling
Wet
Bandits
Harry
(Joe
Pesci)
and
Marv
(Daniel
Stern)
target
his
house
for
a
robbery,
Kevin
must
step
up
to
defend
his
home;
he
sets
a
maze
of
booby
traps
so
elaborate
that
only
an
eight
year
old
imagination
could
concoct
them.
Ultimately,
Kevin
learns
the
importance
of
family
during
the
holidays
in a
touching
reunion
with
his
clan
that
is
highlighted
by
the
film's
amazing
original
score,
which
was
nominated
for
an
Academy
Award.
