THE ALAMO

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 (Emilio Echevarría), ruler of Mexico. Commanded by three men –brash young Lt. Col. William Travis (Patrick Wilson); zealous, passionate James Bowie (Jason Patric); and living legend Davy Crockett (Billy Bob Thornton) – the Texans would sacrifice their lives for their beliefs, but their deeds at the Alamo would make history as General Sam Houston’s (Randy Quaid) emotional rallying call for Texas independence.
