This 1990 film stars Macaulay Culkin as eight-year-old Kevin McCallister who is accidentally left behind when his family departs to vacation in Europe.

Much of the plot centers around Kevin matching wits with a pair of burglars (played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern).

The movie was a box office smash, earning $476.7 million, against a production budget of $18 million.

Home Alone was so successful, it spawned five sequels:

  • Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
  • Home Alone 3 (1997)
  • Home Alone 4 (2002)
  • Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012)
  • Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)

The Showtime for Home Alone in Sioux Falls is 2:00 PM, Monday, December 16.

The Sioux Falls screening is open to AARP members and non-members alike. Tickets are free but must be reserved in advance.
