Synopsis

THE ALAMO is the tale of a handful of men who stood up for their passion and ideals against an overwhelming force. In the spring of 1836, in the face of insurmountable odds, fewer than 200 ordinary men who believed in the future of Texas held the fort for 13 days against thousands of Mexican soldiers led by dictator General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (Echevarría), ruler of Mexico. Commanded by three men – the young, brash Lt. Col. William Travis (Wilson); the zealous, passionate James Bowie (Patric); and the living legend David Crockett (Thornton) – the Texans would sacrifice their lives for their beliefs, but their deeds at the Alamo would make history as General Sam Houston’s (Quaid) emotional rallying call for Texas independence.
