Home Alone

Kevin McCallister

Kevin McCallister is the youngest of six siblings, often overlooked and tormented by his older siblings. He has an almost preternatural affinity for tinkering with household tools, and his family keeps accidentally leaving him behind when traveling on vacation. While separated from them, he must learn to live on his own despite being less than 10 years old, including how to eat properly, shop for groceries, do chores, and thwart the plans of dangerous criminals trying to rob his home.
