In the pantheon of holiday action-comedies, the first two Home Alone films sit on a throne of melted cheese pizza and swinging paint cans. For millions of Millennials and Gen Xers, Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is the undisputed king of booby traps. But what about the film that came after?

Home Alone 3, the 1997 sequel directed by Raja Gosnell (and the first in the franchise not written by John Hughes or starring Macaulay Culkin), is available in multiple copies on the Internet Archive. However, its presence exists in a legal gray area typical of the platform. The copies are primarily user-uploaded, non-official versions that likely constitute copyright infringement.
