When Kevin's family left for vacation, they forgot one minor detail: Kevin!

Eight year old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become the man of the house, overnight!

Accidentally left behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them!

Written and produced by John Hughes, this madcap slapstick adventure features an all star supporting cast.
