When Kevin is accidentally left behind by his family during Christmas vacation, he has to protect his house from two burglars who try to break in. Imagine being all alone in a big house and having to outsmart bad guys all by yourself!

One of the best moments in Home Alone is when Kevin uses his toys and clever tricks to stop the burglars. Like when he sets up a toy car to make a noise or throws paint cans down the stairs. It’s hilarious and exciting, and you cheer for Kevin the whole time.

Some fans wonder what might have happened if the burglars had been smarter or if Kevin had called for help sooner. What if Kevin’s family had realized sooner that they’d left him behind, or what if they never made it back in time? There are also theories that maybe the burglars weren’t as bad as they seemed. What if they were just misunderstood?

An alternate ending could have shown Kevin and the burglars teaming up to stop a bigger threat, like a third burglar or a storm. A prequel might even explore how Kevin became so clever at setting traps—maybe he was already a secret mastermind!
