Unaccompanied Minors
It's Christmas
Eve and a huge blizzard has just
shut down the airport, threatening
to ruin holiday plans for all
stranded travelers. Snowed in en
route to their father's house, two
"Unaccompanied Minors"--dubbed UMs--Spencer
and his little sister, Katherine,
are ushered to the airport's
Unaccompanied Minors Room, a holding
cell for dozens of stranded,
parent-free kids from all over the
country. Caught in the crossfire of
projectile cupcakes and juice boxes
and desperate to escape, Spencer
makes a run for freedom along with
four other UMs, who couldn't be more
different if they tried: spoiled
rich girl Grace, trailer-park tomboy
Donna, academic overachiever Charlie
and comic-book geek Timothy
Wellington a.k.a. "Beef." With the
airport's peevish Passenger
Relations Manager Oliver Porter, his
lackey assistant Zach Van Bourke and
every airport security guard hot on
their trails, this group of UMs from
cliques that don't mix learn to
ditch their differences and help
each other flee the clutches of
airport authority. Meanwhile,
Katherine and the other UMs have
been herded to a nearby hotel to
wait out the storm. Determined to
reunite with his little sister and
fulfill her unspoiled vision of
Santa Claus arriving on Christmas
morning, Spencer enlists the help of
his UM posse. Working together as an
unlikely family of their own, they
outwit and outrun Oliver and his
crew. Plummeting through baggage
chutes, rummaging around unclaimed
luggage and canoeing down a
snow-covered hill, they turn
Christmas at the airport into
holiday pandemonium and, along the
way, prove that the holidays aren't
about where you are, but who you're
with.
