Can't believe it, but 20 years ago, "Home Alone" was released to theaters. It became one of the year's blockbusters, and made a star of Macaulay Culkin, who was only 10 at the time.
Little Kevin McAllister is sent to the attic on the eve of a planned family trip when he and his big brother argue over a slice of pizza. Unfortunately, the power goes out, and the family leaves without him. Only after they're gone do they realize they left him behind. Meanwhile, the boy takes advantage of his freedom, until the wet bandits show up. He outsmarts them by tricking them into thinking there are more people in the house. When they catch on, he rigs the house with booby traps. They catch him, but he's rescued by a man he initially feared. His mom hitches a ride with a polka band, whose leader is played by the late John Candy, and gets back to him. The rest of the family also arrives after the bandits are arrested. There was a sequel. "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York," and two unpopular ones that didn't feature the McAllisters.
