When a rare 35mm print of Home Alone lands in Johnny Doyle's hands, the last thing the Seattle theater manager expects is to watch it turn into a blood-soaked nightmare. Kevin McCallister's once-playful traps become lethal, the laughs vanish, and a chilling message flashes on screen: SAVE US.Soon, altered versions of every John Hughes classic begin surfacing. Some fans claim they're seeing these cuts for the first time - others swear they've always been this way. As the phenomenon spreads, Johnny is drawn into a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the screen... and into the fictional Illinois town of Shermer itself.Joined by an unlikely partner - actor Ryan Reynolds, who's been quietly investigating the changes for years - Johnny crosses the barrier into Hughes' cinematic universe. But Shermer isn't the place they remember. Beloved characters are missing, others have turned cruel, and Chet Donnelly from Weird Science has seized control, using Lisa's powers to twist reality for his own ends.Racing against time, Johnny and Ryan must navigate a decaying landscape of warped movie moments, unlikely allies, and dangerous nostalgia to rescue Lisa, stop Chet, and restore Shermer before the corruption spreads to the real world forever.Blending heartfelt 1980s coming-of-age spirit with high-stakes adventure and a dash of dark comedy, Save Shermer is a love letter to the films of John Hughes - and a thrilling reminder that sometimes, the only way to save the story... is to rewrite it.
