In Chicago, the McCallister family is preparing for a Christmas vacation in Miami. On the night before their departure, the entire family gathers at Peter and Kate's home, where their son Kevin sees Miami as contradictory to Christmas because he thinks there are no Christmas trees there. As the family is leaving for the school Christmas pageant, Peter unknowingly causes the alarm clock to reset. During the pageant, Kevin gets into a scuffle with Buzz. Refusing to apologize for his actions, Kevin goes up to the third floor of the house. The family once again oversleeps after Peter's resetting of the alarm clock is discovered. In the confusion and rush to get to O'Hare International Airport, Kevin accidentally boards a flight bound for New York City while trying to replace the batteries for his tape recorder, carrying Peter's bag containing his wallet and a large amount of cash.
To make the best of it, Kevin tours the city in a taxi but his joy soon turns to fear as he encounters a homeless woman tending to pigeons at Central Park. He then books a suite at the Plaza Hotel, conning the staff into believing that he is traveling with his father. The concierge Hector, however, is suspicious of Kevin and decides to investigate. At a local toy store, Kevin meets its philanthropic owner, Mr. Duncan. Kevin learns that the proceeds from the store's Christmas sales will be donated to a children's hospital. Duncan offers Kevin a pair of ceramic turtledoves as a gift, instructing him to give one to another person as a sign of eternal friendship. However, Kevin re-encounters Harry and Marv, a pair of burglars who recently escaped from prison and are now called the "Sticky Bandits." When Kevin retreats to the hotel, Mr. Hector confronts him about the credit card which has been reported stolen. Kevin flees after evading Hector and his staff but is captured by Harry and Marv. The duo discuss plans for breaking into the store that night before Kevin escapes.
Meanwhile in Miami, Kate realizes that Kevin is missing and the family travels to New York upon tracking the stolen credit card and Kate searches the city for Kevin while the rest of the family stay at the Plaza Hotel. Meanwhile, Kevin visits his uncle Rob's townhouse only to find it vacant and undergoing renovations while Rob and his family are in Paris. In Central Park, he encounters the pigeon lady. When Kevin gets his foot caught while running away, she frees him. At Carnegie Hall, the pair watch an orchestra perform "O Come, All ye Faithful." The pigeon lady explains how her life collapsed after her lover abandoned her and how she dealt with it by taking care of the pigeons in the park. Kevin gives the pigeon lady some advice and promises that he will be her friend.
Remembering what the bandits said, Kevin returns to the townhouse and rigs it with numerous booby traps. Kevin arrives at the toy store during Harry and Marv's robbery, throws a brick through the window, and sets off the store's alarm. Kevin then lures the duo to the townhouse, where they spring the traps and suffer various injuries. When the duo chases Kevin around the townhouse, he flees and calls the police. Harry and Marv catch him and take him to Central Park to kill him, but the pigeon lady sneaks in and incapacitates the duo with her birdseed before they can do anything, and Kevin sets off fireworks he had bought earlier to signal the police. The police arrive and arrest Harry and Marv. At the toy store, Mr. Duncan finds a note from Kevin attached to the brick explaining his actions.
Realizing Kevin's fondness for Christmas trees, Kate observes Kevin making a wish at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and they reconcile. On Christmas Day, a truckload of gifts arrives at the McCallisters' hotel room from the toy store. Kevin and Buzz reconcile and Buzz allows him to open up the first present. Kevin tries opening the first present but goes to Central Park to give the pigeon lady the second turtledove. At the Plaza, Buzz receives the bill for Kevin's stay from Cedric. Peter suddenly calls out, "Kevin, you spent $967 on room service?!" at which point Kevin runs off.
