Hughes is the secondary antagonist in Home Alone 5 The Holiday Heist.
Personality[]
Hughes is cowardly and rebellious. He sometimes refuses his boss's orders especially when he wants to eat gingerbread cookies while breaking into the Baxter Family house. He is rather slow and dim-witted and couldn't even do basic math, wanting to change the deal to 50% for both him and Jessica each and 25% for Sinclair. He seems to care about his co conspirators since he wanted Jessica's share to be increased along with his and was later shocked when he learned Sinclair planned to take the painting all for himself. He seemed to be afraid of ghosts while breaking into the Baxter Family house until he realized that Finn Baxter set all those traps and scared him. Despite everything that Finn did to him and his boss and partner, Hughes didn't hurt Finn, just locking him up in their vehicle, showing that they have more morals than Harry and Marv or the criminals from the third movie. His name might be a reference to John Hughes, but that is not confirmed yet.
