Joe Pesci as Harry Lime
In any compelling story, the main character alone can only take you so far. Without a formidable villain, there’s no suspense, no epic battle to overcome. Joe Pesci’s portrayal of Harry Lime filled this pivotal role to perfection. As a cunning thief with his sights set on opulent homes, he and his partner set their sights on the McCallister residence during the holiday season.
With the family away on their Christmas vacation, Harry concocts a daring plan to infiltrate the home. Much to his surprise, he quickly discovers that not everyone has left. Now, he must devise a new strategy to outsmart Kevin, who stands firm in defending his home.
