Since the original Home Alone film was released in 1990, many people have been wondering what a reboot would look like. The plot of the movie is about Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who gets left behind while his family takes an overseas vacation. He then must defend his house against two burglars on Christmas Eve. This new version will be set at home and abroad, with parts of it taking place before and after the events of the first film. It’s unclear how much time has passed since this incident but all indications are that he is now grown up-possibly in college or just out of high school? This article is about Home Alone Reboot.
