Home alone 3

Threat advisory: Guarded - General risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

A top-secret computer chip has been stolen from the USA Department of Defence. The international criminals who expertly and ruthlessly engineered its heist are asking for untold millions on the black market. But the precious booty, hidden inside a toy car, has been temporarily misplaced. Its final destination: a comfortable Chicago suburb.

Quietly taking up residence in the tree-lined neighbourhood, the four highly-trained spies marshall all their diabolical resources and skills to retrieve the device. Their state-of-the-art surveillance and ruthless strategy have foiled Interpol, the FBI, USA Defence agents and the local police.

Only one person can stop this hi-tech gang of black marketers. Meet 8-year-old Alex Pruitt (Alex D Lintz). When this pesky team of bad guys invade his neighbourhood, he's the last and only line of defence. Alex has his own special surveillance tools. He has his own carefully mapped out strategy. He has courage. He has the chicken pox. And he's home alone...

Written by John Hughes, who is responsible for the first two.
