In Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge (2025), Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) returns, all grown up, but with the same mischievous charm that made him a legend. Set decades after the original, Kevin is now a successful tech entrepreneur, but his mischievous past catches up to him when he finds himself in a situation reminiscent of his childhood antics.
The film opens with Kevin, now living in a smart home fully equipped with cutting-edge security technology, returning to his hometown for the holidays. Unbeknownst to Kevin, a new group of high-tech burglars, led by a cunning criminal mastermind (played by Kevin Hart), have caught wind of his wealth and plan to rob him blind. The twist? These burglars are not the usual bumbling criminals—this time, they’re tech-savvy, smart, and highly organized.
However, they’ve underestimated one thing: Kevin McCallister. When Kevin realizes his home is about to be infiltrated, the trailer shifts to a montage of Kevin setting up a series of elaborate traps. But these aren’t your typical paint cans and ice on the stairs. Now armed with cutting-edge technology, Kevin uses smart gadgets, drone surveillance, and automated traps to outwit the burglars. In one hilarious scene, Kevin sends a remote-controlled car to deliver a shock to one of the intruders, while another trap uses holograms to confuse the thieves.
As the burglars struggle to break into his smart home, Kevin toys with them using both his signature wit and his modern arsenal of tricks. From home security drones attacking the burglars to voice-activated traps causing chaos, Kevin stays one step ahead. At one point, Kevin Hart’s character, exasperated and bruised, screams, “How does one guy do all of this?!”
The climax builds with Kevin confronting the leader of the gang face-to-face, and in classic Home Alone fashion, he outsmarts him in an unforgettable showdown. The movie closes with Kevin, victorious once again, giving a wink to the camera as the burglars are carted off by police.
