The film does not revolve around Kevin, but centers on Alex Pruitt, a young boy who is home alone with the chicken pox, but gets better. At this time, four burglars working for a North Korean terrorist group are sent by their boss to obtain a top-secret microchip that can act as a cloaking device for a missile. They succeed in retrieving it and hide it in a remote controlled car, but due to a luggage mix-up at the airport with the Pruitts' neighbor Mrs. Hess, the car lands in the hands of Alex, who is given the car for shoveling the snow on her driveway. The burglars begin systematically searching every house on his street. Once they figure out that he has the chip, they prepare to invade his house. He devises elaborate traps and bamboozles the 4 crooks with the help of his pet rat, his brother's parrot, and some intricate tripwires, all the while monitoring them with a video camera on the race car.

Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002)
Although marketed as a fourth installment many see Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House as a reboot due to the absence of any of the regular cast and a different storyline that does not reflect the continuity of the first two films. It was directed by Rod Daniel and premiered as a television movie on ABC on November 3, 2002. The film returns to the original's main character, Kevin (played by Mike Weinberg) and one of the two Sticky Bandits, Marv (played by French Stewart). Kevin's parents have divorced, and he lives with his mother. He decides to go spend Christmas with his dad and his rich girlfriend, Natalie, but finds himself having to deal with his old nemesis Marv, and his new sidekick and wife, Vera (played by Missi Pyle), who takes the place of Harry since he and Marv put their partnership to an end. It was released to Region 1 DVD on October 20, 2003. Filming began on July 29 in Melbourne. Home Alone 4 is the only film in the series that was not released in theaters.
