Summary of “Home Alone” Movie

Home alone tells the story of a child named

Kevin who is accidentally left behind by his family
when the holiday season arrives. This incident
forced him to stay at home alone. Here the story of
“home alone” movie in detail.

The story begins with a scene where The

McCallister family is headed to Paris to spend
Christmas with family. Bratty eight year old Kevin
McCallister gets into an argument with his older
brother, Buzz, and is sent to bed early, wishing
that his family would just disappear. Well, that's
the thing about Christmas wishes - they have a
magical tendency to come true. That night there is
a power outage which re-sets all the appliances in
the house, including the alarm clocks, which do
not go off as planned. The family is left scrambling
to make it to the airport in time to catch their flight
accidentally leaving Kevin behind. His absence is
not noticed until the plane is airborne, leaving his
frantic parents trying desperately to book a flight
home again as soon as they deplane in France.

Meanwhile, back at the McCallister home,

Kevin thinks that his Christmas wish has come
true when he realizes he is alone in the house. He
does all of the things he is never allowed to do -
bounces on the beds, uses Buzz's BB gun and
eats junk food whilst watching gangster movies.
However, he is also a little scared by Old Man
Marley who lives next door because local myth
tells it that the old man murdered his entire family
years before; the appearance of him outside his
house with a shovel makes Kevin very nervous.
Then there is the matter of the Wet Bandits, Hal
and Marv, who are in the middle of an inept, but
determined, crime spree and are breaking into
houses whilst people are away for the holidays.

Kevin overhears the bandits talking about

breaking into the McCallister home on Christmas
Eve, and as the man of the house in the absence
of his father, he decides to stymie their efforts. He
also runs into Old Man Marley watching a local
choir performing in the church; they talk, and Kevin
learns that the old man is actually very nice. He is
watching the choir because his granddaughter is in
it, and he doesn't get to see her anymore because
he and his son had a big argument and no longer
talk. Kevin advises him to reconcile with his son so
that he can spend Christmas with his family. Kevin
heads home after church and prepares to booby
trap the house so that the bandits cannot break
into it. He sprinkles broken tree ornaments that are
made of glass underneath the windowsill so that
when the men break in they will cut their feet; he
also booby traps the cellar, causing Hal to break a
tooth when a can of paint hits him in the face.
They chase Kevin through the house and hang
him on the towel hook behind the bathroom door
when they catch him but he has already called
911. Kevin escapes the house with the burglars in
hot pursuit, but Old Man Marley comes up behind
them, knocking them out with a swing of his snow
shovel, and taking Kevin home. The police arrive,
and the burglars are arrested.

Kevin wakes up on Christmas morning hoping

that his family will be home, but they are not, but
he hears his mother open the front door and call
his name. Kate McCallister has driven home with a
performing band, squished tightly into the back of
their RV, and is relieved to see her son again.
Soon afterwards, the rest of the family, fresh from
their flight from Paris, arrive. Even Buzz is pleased
to see him. Kevin didn't tell his family about his
encounter with the Wet Bandits, but when his
father found the thief's gold teeth on the floor, he
wondered what might have happened, and it
turned out that his family knew that Kevin had
saved his family home from the thief. then all his
brothers who used to bully him became proud of
him, his mother and father who only saw him as a
bad boy were proud of him. not long after that
Kevin saw Old Man Marley out the window and
saw that he had invited his son and his family for
Christmas, he watched as they reconciled and the
old man greeted his beloved grandson, but the
beautiful scene was interrupted when Buzz
shouted at Kevin about the state of his room that
Kevin did.
