Product Description
-------------------
The first four films from the 'Home Alone' series. In 'Home
Alone' (1990) ten-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is
banished to his room while his family prepare for a Christmas
trip to Europe. He wakes up to find they have inadvertently left
without him. Kevin must cope not only with life on his own but
also with the threat of two persistent, albeit incompetent,
burglars. Meanwhile, his parents try to find a way to get back
home to their forgotten son. 'Home Alone 2' (1992) sees Kevin get
separated from his family at Christmas time again. This time,
they're in Florida and he's in New York, and the two bumbling
gangsters from the first film (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) are
out of jail and on Kevin's trail. In 'Home Alone 3' (1997) a band
of hi-tech thieves have stolen a top-secret computer chip, and
placed it inside a toy car. However, through a series of mishaps
the car finds its way to Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz), who is alone
at home with the chicken pox. The thieves track Alex down, but
their attempts to retrieve the chip are all thwarted by the young
whiz-kid. Finally, 'Home Alone 4' (2002) sees the return of Kevin
McAllister (this time played by Mike Weinberg) who once again
finds himself left alone in an empty house; this time it is a
hi-tech safe-house, owned by the girlfriend of his recently
divorced her. The house is being used by a royal heir and
Kevin (in his usual style) manages to see off potential
kippers whilst also making sure his parents get back together.

Home Alone
When Kevin's family left for vacation, they forgot one minor
detail: Kevin! Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin)
has become the man of the house, overnight. Accidentally left
behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin
gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not
decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars
are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery
of booby traps to welcome them! Written and produced by John
Hughes, this madcap slapstick adventure features an all-star
supporting cast including Catherine O'Hara and John Heard as
Kevin's parents, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as the burglars, and
John Candy as the "Polka King of the Midwest".
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back. But this time he's
in New York City--with enough cash and credit cards to turn the
Big Apple into his own playground. But Kevin won't be alone for
long. The notorious Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and
Daniel Stern), still smarting from their last encounter with
Kevin, are bound for New York too, plotting a huge holiday heist.
Home Alone 3
A band of international crooks has hidden a computer
chip inside a toy car, but an airport mix-up lands it in the
hands of whiz-kid Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz) who's home alone
with the chicken pox in a quiet Chicago suburb. When the
criminals zero in on Alex's house with their high-tech gadgetry,
madness and mayhem kick into high gear as the pint-sized hero
defends himself against the bumbling bad guys--armed with an
outrageous array of ambushes and booby traps.
Home Alone 4
It's tough being nine. Tougher still is spending Christmas with
dad (Jason Beghe) at his new girlfriend Natalie's (Joanna Going)
mansion even though it's loaded with all the techno-gadgets any
kid could hope for! But this Christmas, Kevin (Michael Weinberg)
is really in hot water again, and so are Marv (French Stewart)
and his sidekick (Missi Pyle), who are trying to rob Natalie's
house. With funnier and more high-tech, crime-stopping wizardry
at his disposal than ever, Kevin just might finally put these
crooks on ice forever--and keep his parents together while he's
at it--in this uplifting, hilarious comedy the whole family is
sure to love.
