Home Alone is a 1990 American Christmas comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written and produced by John Hughes. The first film in the Home Alone franchise, the film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara. Culkin plays Kevin McCallister, a boy who defends his suburban Chicago home from a home invasion by a pair of robbers after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation to Paris.

The McCallister family is preparing to spend Christmas in Paris, gathering at Kate and Peter's home in a Chicago suburb on the night before their departure. Kate and Peter's youngest son, Kevin, is the subject of ridicule by his siblings and cousins due to his immature behavior. Kevin inadvertently ruins the family dinner after a scuffle with his oldest brother Buzz, in which Kevin's airplane ticket is unknowingly thrown away, resulting in Kate sending him up to the attic. Kevin berates his mother for allowing the rest of the family to pick on him and wishes that his family would disappear. During the night, heavy winds create a power outage, disabling the alarm clocks and 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 to take them to the airport. Thinking that his wish has come true, he is overjoyed with his newfound freedom. Later, Kevin becomes frightened by his next-door neighbor, "Old Man" Marley, rumored to be a serial killer who murdered his own family. The McCallister home is soon stalked by the "Wet Bandits," Harry and Marv, a pair of burglars who have been breaking into other vacant houses in the neighborhood. Kevin tricks them into thinking that his family is still home, forcing them to postpone their plans to rob the McCallister house.

Kate realizes mid-flight that Kevin was left behind, and upon arrival in Paris, the family discovers that all flights for the next two days are booked, and that the phone lines are still down back home in Chicago. Peter and the rest of the family stay in his brother's apartment in Paris, while Kate manages to get a flight back to Scranton, Pennsylvania. She fails to find a flight to Chicago, but meets Gus Polinski, the lead member of a traveling polka band, who offers to let her travel with them to Chicago in a moving van.

On Christmas Eve, Harry and Marv finally realize that only Kevin is in the McCallister home, and Kevin overhears them discussing plans to break into the house that night. Kevin starts to miss his family and asks the local Santa Claus impersonator if he could bring them back for Christmas. He goes to church and watches a choir perform, eventually re-encountering Marley, who proves the rumors about him are false. Marley points out his granddaughter in the choir and mentions he has never met her since she is the daughter of his estranged son. Kevin suggests Marley should reconcile with his son.

Kevin returns home and rigs the house with booby traps. Harry and Marv break in, spring the traps, and suffer various injuries. Kevin calls the police and lures the duo into a vacant neighboring house that they had previously broken into. Harry and Marv ambush Kevin and prepare to get their revenge, but Marley intervenes and knocks them out with his snow shovel. The police arrive and 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 initially disappointed to find that his family is still gone, but Kate arrives home, and they reconcile. The rest of the family then returns after waiting in Paris for a direct flight to Chicago. Kevin keeps silent about his encounter with Harry and Marv, although Peter finds Harry's knocked-out gold tooth. Kevin then happily watches Marley reuniting with his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.

Writer and producer John Hughes conceived Home Alone while preparing to go on vacation. He said: "I was going away on vacation, and making a list of everything I didn't want to forget. I thought, 'Well, I'd better not forget my kids.' Then I thought, 'What if I left my 10-year-old son at home? What would he do?'"[8] Hughes wrote eight pages of notes that developed into the screenplay.[8] Imagining that children are naturally most scared of robbers, Hughes also worked that aspect into the plot of the film.[8]

By the time the film had run its course in theaters, Home Alone was the third-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, as well as in the United States and Canada behind only Star Wars ($322 million at the time) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ($399 million at the time), according to the home video box. Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 67.7 million tickets in the United States.[3] It was also the highest-grossing Christmas film until it was surpassed by Dr. Seuss' The Grinch in 2018.[58][59] The film made Culkin a child star.[60]

The 1989 French horror thriller film 3615 code Pre Nol, which is about a young boy who is home alone with his elderly grandfather and has to fend off a home invader dressed up as Santa Claus, has been noted for its plot similarities to Home Alone.[103] 3615 code Pre Nol director Ren Manzor threatened the producers of Home Alone with legal action on the grounds of plagiarism, alleging that Home Alone was a remake of his film.[104][105] 3615 code Pre Nol was not released in the United States during its original theatrical run in January 1990 and did not become widely available there until 2018.[106][107]


A child who isn't old enough or who doesn't feel comfortable should never be left home alone. If this is the case, it's best to look into childcare options that might work for your family. Read our advice on this below.

As your child gets older, talk to them about how they feel about being left home alone. If they're worried, work out what parts of being home alone worry them. Do they feel safe in the neighbourhood? Are they afraid of the dark?

Give your child a call every so often. If it's the first time they've been left alone, try to check in regularly. Even if your child is older and has been left home alone before, you should still check in once every few hours, particularly if you're out late.

As you build up to leaving your child alone for longer stretches, keep checking in and making sure they're comfortable. Being left home alone for an hour is very different to being alone for a whole afternoon or overnight.


Sometimes it might be better to arrange for someone to stay with your child instead of leaving them home alone. This doesn't have to be an extra cost - family and friends that you know and trust may be able to help.

If you have a child with disabilities, your local council has a duty to provide help and support. This includes short break services, holiday play schemes, care at home and financial help. GOV.UK provides more detail on what's available.

This time around I noticed all the little checks that were in place but nevertheless failed. It turns out the movie is surprisingly detailed on all these things and made a lot more attempts than I initially thought to make it almost inevitable that Kevin would be stuck home alone. So the thing I decided to do was write an incident investigation the way I would do them for work issues. I can't interview people, but I got a fully recorded movie to work with, along with a script draft found online, which sometimes contains additional or conflicting information with what the movie contains.

This report looks at events that have transpired in December 1990, where a family living in Chicago and on their way to France for Christmas ended up leaving their eight years old son home alone. The case has gotten worldwide recognition due to the creative ways in which the aforementioned youngest child managed to foil the plans of two burglars through creative and rather violent use of home supplies.

The adults are divided up, one from each couple in each shuttle. It is important to point out that the act of dividing groups like that gives an immediate rational explanation for not being able to see any of the kids in the local shuttle: the count is correct, therefore the kid has to be in the other van. This can be believed regardless of whether the kid is there or stuck at home.

Everyone instead appears to be relieved that they managed to make it at the last moment, while the stewards rush everyone into their seats to leave on time. One of the parents mentions hoping they forgot nothing. Of course, by now everyone in the audience is aware of the irony that the youngest of the household has been left behind, unaware of all of the commotion by having been isolated in the attic, alone and fast asleep.

The adults are dismayed on the flight, blaming themselves and feeling horrible. They have tried reaching home through the captain's phone, but since it's out of order at their house, they're stuck waiting. Some of them try to minimize the guilt: "We'll call when we land", "we didn't forget him, we just miscounted", but the mother is still distraught and showing remorse.

Ultimately, the family had to focus on getting back home as soon as possible to do things by themselves. No flights are available, not even private ones, until Friday morning, two days away. They end up dividing up into two swimlanes to help resolve things: the mother will remain at the airport as a standby to grab the first flight to America she can get, while the rest of the family will go to the home they were expected at in Paris to try the phones some more, at least until Friday when they can then fly back. ff782bc1db
