Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is the youngest member of the McCallister family. One day, he has an argument with his family over dinner and he is sent to his 3rd floor bedroom for the night. The family is about to leave for France next day, for celebrating Christmas together. A power failure neutralizes all the alarm clocks in the morning and in the frenzy of leaving for the airport, the family members forget to take Kevin along. The moment Kevin comes to know of it, he decides to fully enjoy his newfound independence, which has some bad sides also. One major threat is his neighbor, Marley, a supposed murderer.

One day, Kevin accidentally meets Marley in the church and finds that he is indeed a good person and not a murderer, as people believe him to be. Infact, he has been separated from his family and misses them terribly. Kevin advises Marley to try to get in touch with his family once again and patch up with them. Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), a pair of thieves, plan to rob the McCallister home, believing it to be an easy target, with the family being absent. Kevin comes to know of this and sets up booby traps throughout the house. He then lures the thieves inside the house.

What follows is a series of hilarious accidents, where the two thieves get badly thrashed. Finally, the robbers manage to follow Kevin into a neighbor's house and capture him. As they stand talking about how to take revenge from the little boy, Marley arrives and smack the burglars with his shovel. By the time the robbers come back to consciousness, the police arrives and takes them away. Around that time only, Kevin's mother manages to come back from the Scranton International Airport. Marley, who had contacted his family on the advice of Kevin, also reunites with his family.
