"The traps got smarter. The thieves? Not so much."
25 years after the original mischief, Home Alone 3 (2025) brings holiday mayhem into the smart home era — where booby traps have Bluetooth, security cameras bite back, and the Wi-Fi password might just save your life.
Meet Max Mercer (Noah Jupe), a quick-witted, tech-savvy 11-year-old accidentally left behind during a chaotic family trip to Tokyo. When a pair of bumbling international thieves (played by Kumail Nanjiani and Kate McKinnon) target the Mercer home to steal a priceless AI prototype hidden in the basement, they think it’ll be an easy score. Big mistake.
Armed with voice assistants, hacked drones, and a genius-level sense of vengeance, Max turns his house into a fortress of festive pain. From exploding smart fridges to remote-controlled Roomba ambushes, the traps are bigger, wilder, and more high-tech than ever — but still hilariously painful.
Blending slapstick comedy with heartwarming holiday spirit, Home Alone 3 updates the classic formula for a new generation, proving one timeless truth: never underestimate a kid on Christmas.
