The film follows an 8-year-old boy, Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), who is accidentally left behind when his family goes on vacation to Paris for the holidays. Kevin must defend his home from two bumbling burglars, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, using a series of clever and often hilarious booby traps.
