Vacation (2015)

Set decades after National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation, Vacation is a 2015 sequel and continuation of the popular franchise. The film now focuses on the eldest son, Rusty Griswold, and his new family as they decide to head on to their usual vacation spot – but when unpleasant memories surface, Rusty makes a last-minute change and decides to take them to the site of the first film – Wally World. Now on a road trip across the country, Rusty and his family are guaranteed to follow in his father's footsteps in a series of ludicrous detours and encounters.
