The Holiday Classic Returns

Home Alone 3 (2025) is a modern reboot that brings the charm and slapstick chaos of the beloved franchise into the digital age. With heartfelt moments, clever pranks, and a new generation of villains, this sequel captures the spirit of the original while giving it a smart and timely update.

Directed by Shawn Levy (Free Guy, Night at the Museum) and produced by Disney+, the film blends nostalgia with high-tech hijinks in a family-friendly adventure that feels both familiar and fresh.

 The Story

Max Mercer, a witty 10-year-old tech-savvy kid, moves with his family into a new smart home in Chicago. But when a holiday mix-up sends his parents to Tokyo without him, Max finds himself home alone — again.

Things take a wild turn when a pair of high-end burglars, disguised as tech repairmen, attempt to break into the house to steal a mysterious prototype Max’s inventor dad was working on. But they don’t know who they’re messing with…

Armed with drones, remote-controlled traps, and some old-school tricks inspired by Kevin McCallister himself, Max turns the house into a high-tech fortress of festive pain.
