When 8-year-old Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, was accidentally left home alone while his family vacationed in France over the Christmas holidays, it was bound to be interesting.
Kevin wished his obnoxious family “would all just disappear,” and they did. When he woke up to find his family gone and the house to himself, he quickly did what any other eight, or 21-year-old would do — he had fun.
Before long, however, Kevin found himself defending his home against foolish, tag-team burglars and wishing his family would come back home.
