Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert) |
Home Alone
The McCallister family is preparing to spend Christmas in Paris, gathering at Kate and Peter's Chicago suburb home the night before their departure. Kate and Peter's youngest son, Kevin, inadvertently ruins the family dinner after a scuffle with his oldest brother Buzz, in which Kevin's aeroplane ticket is unknowingly thrown away. Kevin berates his mother for allowing the family to pick on him and wishes that his family would disappear. During the night, a power outage disables the alarm clocks, causing the family to oversleep. In the confusion and rush to get to the airport, Kevin is accidentally left behind.
Kevin wakes to find the house empty and the family cars still in the garage, unaware that they had rented vans for the airport. Thinking that his wish has come true, he is overjoyed with his newfound freedom. He becomes frightened by his next-door neighbour, "Old Man" Marley, rumoured to be a serial killer who murdered his own family. The McCallister home is stalked by the "Wet Bandits," Harry and Marv, a pair of burglars who have been breaking into vacant houses in the neighbourhood. Kevin tricks them into thinking that his family is still home.
Kate realises mid-flight that Kevin has been left behind. Upon arrival in Paris, the family discovers that all flights for the next two days are booked due to the holidays, and phone lines are still down in Chicago. Peter and the rest of the family stay in his brother's apartment in Paris while Kate gets a flight back to Scranton, Pennsylvania. She fails to find a flight to Chicago from there, but meets Gus Polinski, member of a travelling polka band, who lets her travel with them to Chicago in a van.
On Christmas Eve, Harry and Marv finally realise that Kevin is the only one in the McCallister home, and Kevin overhears them discussing plans to break into the house that night. He starts to miss his family and asks the local Santa Claus impersonator if he could bring them back for Christmas. He eventually encounters Marley, who proves the rumours about him are false. Kevin suggests Marley should reconcile with his estranged son and granddaughter.
Kevin rigs the house with booby traps. Harry and Marv break in, spring the traps, and suffer various comical injuries. Kevin calls the police and lures the duo into a vacant neighbouring house they had previously broken into. Harry and Marv ambush Kevin but Marley knocks them out with his snow shovel. The police arrest Harry and Marv, having identified all the houses that they broke into due to their habit of flooding them.
On Christmas Day, Kevin is disappointed to find that his family is still gone, but Kate arrives home, and they reconcile. The rest of the family returns after boarding a direct flight home from Paris. Kevin keeps silent about his encounter with Harry and Marv, though Peter finds Harry's knocked-out gold tooth. In the end, Kevin happily watches Marley reuniting with his son and granddaughter.
Home Alone 2
The McCallister family is preparing to spend Christmas in Miami, and gathers at Kate and Peter's Chicago suburb home. At a school Christmas pageant, during Kate and Peter's youngest son Kevin's solo, his older brother Buzz embarrasses him; Kevin retaliates, which ruins the pageant. At home, Buzz makes a false apology, which the family accepts; Kevin refuses to apologise and berates his family for believing Buzz's lies. He storms off to the attic, wishing to have his vacation alone.
The next morning, the family oversleeps and rushes to the airport. Kevin becomes separated from them at the airport and accidentally boards a flight to New York City. Upon arrival, he tours the city and encounters a homeless woman tending to pigeons in Central Park, which scares him. He uses Peter's credit card to check in at the Plaza Hotel, not knowing that the Wet Bandits have also reached the city after escaping from prison.
On Christmas Eve, Kevin visits a toy store whose kindly owner, Mr. Duncan, plans to donate the day's proceeds to a children's hospital. After Kevin makes a donation, Mr. Duncan gives him a pair of ceramic turtle doves in thanks, instructing him to give one to another person as a gesture of friendship. The concierge at the Plaza confronts Kevin about his use of Peter's credit card, now reported as stolen; Kevin flees the hotel but is caught by the Wet Bandits. Marv mentions the plan to rob the toy store before he escapes.
Meanwhile, upon landing in Miami, the McCallister family discovers that Kevin is missing and files a police report. After the police trace Peter's credit card, they fly to New York. Kevin goes to his uncle's townhouse, only to find it vacant and undergoing renovations. In Central Park, he befriends the pigeon lady, who takes him to Carnegie Hall. After considering her advice that he perform a good deed to make up for his misdeeds, he decides to prevent the toy store robbery.
Kevin rigs the townhouse with booby traps, catches Harry and Marv in the process of robbing the store, and breaks its front window to set off the alarm. After taking their picture, he lures them to the townhouse where they repeatedly injure themselves in the traps. Kevin calls the police and flees toward Central Park. Harry and Marv catch him but the pigeon lady throws bird seed onto them, attracting a massive flock of pigeons and incapacitating the pair until the police arrive to arrest them. Kevin slips away, leaving evidence against Harry and Marv, and Mr. Duncan finds a note from Kevin explaining the broken window. In New York, Kate, remembering Kevin's fondness for Christmas trees, finds him making a wish at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
On Christmas morning, a truckload of free gifts arrives at the McCallisters' hotel room, sent from a grateful Mr. Duncan for foiling the robbery. Kevin reconciles with his family and gives one of his turtledoves to the pigeon lady.
