Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a 1992 American family comedy film directed by Chris Columbus, the sequel to the 1990 holiday blockbuster. Macaulay Culkin returns as Kevin McCallister, who accidentally boards the wrong flight and ends up alone in New York City with his father's wallet and a bag full of cash while his family flies to Florida. Kevin checks into the Plaza Hotel, tours the city, and eventually encounters the Wet Bandits — Harry and Marv, played again by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern — who have escaped prison and are planning to rob a toy store's charity proceeds on Christmas Eve.

Home Alone 2 was a deliberate structural remake of the original, transplanting the same formula to Manhattan — Kevin separated from family, enjoys unsupervised freedom, battles the same criminals with elaborate booby traps. While critics noted the repetitive formula, audiences embraced the sequel's bigger scale and the appeal of a child exploring New York City during the holidays. The film featured a cameo by Donald Trump, who owned the Plaza Hotel at the time, directing Kevin to the lobby — a scene that has been endlessly discussed in subsequent decades.

Tim Curry's addition as the suspicious hotel concierge added a new antagonist dimension. Home Alone 2 earned $359 million worldwide on a $28 million budget, confirming the franchise's enormous commercial appeal.
