Home Alone is a 1990 holiday comedy directed by Chris Columbus that follows 8-year-old Kevin McCallister, who is accidentally left behind when his family departs for Christmas vacation. Forced to fend for himself, Kevin cleverly protects his home from two burglars using elaborate traps. The film’s blend of slapstick humor and heartfelt family themes made it an enduring classic.

Did you know?

Our scripts come directly from the USA. They are easy to recognize because they have the standard U.S. paper size. Typically, people use A4-sized paper (297mm in height) to make fan copies of scripts. This paper size is not used in the United States; they use letter-sized paper (279mm in height). This is noticeable because this scripts usually have black lines at the top and bottom, showing that the original paper size used to copy (any American script) is smaller than A4.

Also, our scripts have been preserved under the strictest climate control standards in HVAC-R conditions, both during storage and throughout the packaging process. As a result, a label is applied after sealing them, as shown in the photos. They are bound in the same way that vault copies of scripts are preserved, without any oxidizable materials that could damage the paper. They are carefully packed in bubble wrap and placed in a cardboard box to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
