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 (Dyllan Christopher) and his little sister, Katherine
(Dominique Saldana), 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 (Gina Mantegna), trailer-park tomboy
Donna (Quinn Shephard), academic overachiever Charlie (Tyler James
Williams) and comic-book geek Timothy Wellington a.k.a. "Beef" (Brett
Kelly). With the airport's peevish Passenger Relations Manager Oliver
Porter (Lewis Black), his lackey assistant Zach Van Bourke (Wilmer
Valderrama) 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.
