Watch Home Alone 3

Home Alone 3, released in 1997, is a comedic family movie directed by Raja Gosnell, and it stars Alex D. Linz, Olek Krupa, and Rya Kihlstedt. It is the third installment of the Home Alone franchise, but it's an entirely new story with new characters. Unlike Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) from the previous films, Alex Pruitt (Alex D. Linz) plays the main character, who finds himself confronting burglars.

The story is set in a Chicago suburb during the Christmas holiday season. Peter Beaupre (Olek Krupa) and his crew of international thieves are attempting to steal a top-secret computer chip from a toy car factory to sell it to North Korean terrorists. However, while the chip is being shipped, it accidentally ends up in the care of Alex Pruitt, a young and sick boy who stays at home alone while his parents are away at work.

Alex is a clever and resourceful kid who spends his days building booby traps to protect his home after noticing suspicious activities around his house. When the burglars realize that the valuable chip is in Alex's possession, they decide to break into his house and retrieve it. This decision sets off a series of hilarious pranks and clever traps that Alex creates to protect his house and the chip.

As the burglars try to get into the house through the front door, Alex uses a remote-controlled car to deliver a message about his knowledge of the chip. Meanwhile, Alex tries to call the police, but the burglars manage to intercept his calls. As Alex's neighborhood grapples with the thieves' activities, he continues to outwit them at every turn. He uses a variety of resources, including fireworks, marbles, and even paint cans to set up booby traps and catch the burglars off-guard.

In the meantime, the police have their eyes on Alex's neighborhood and try to figure out what is happening, but they are always a step behind the burglars' activities. They eventually discover the chip in Alex's house and realize the value of it. With the burglars hot on his heels, Alex decides to take the chip to the airport where his mother works to ensure its safety.

Home Alone 3 is a fun and entertaining family movie. Alex D. Linz is an excellent young actor who carries the story on his shoulders, and he is able to create a character that is believable and smart. The film is full of humorous moments and action-packed scenes that keep the audience engaged. Although it doesn't have the same warmth and heart as the first two movies in the franchise, it still manages to deliver a heartwarming message about family values and the importance of sticking together in tough times.

Overall, Home Alone 3 is a heartwarming and entertaining family-friendly movie. The characters are well-written, and the story is engaging, giving viewers a great Christmas-time movie experience.
