The movie begins with a man riding into a town saying the Alamo has fallen after the shot at the scene at the Alamo. The movie is based on the events that took place before, during and after the Alamo. The movie goes back in time to show Sam Houston selling Texas and Davey Crockett asking Sam Houston to come out and see what Texas has to offer. After Crockett makes it out to Texas he takes Lt. William Travis with him to the Alamo after being asked to defend it by Houston. The men seem to underestimate the Mexicans attacking and begin to fight amongst themselves meanwhile the Mexicans are beginning to surround the Alamo. The Mexican General Santa Anna waits anxiously for Sam Houston to arrive and after he doesn’t they start a series of attacks on the fort. They refused to take surrender from them and keep attacking. After waiting a long time Lt. Travis begins to realize the strength in his men and gains a lot of respect for them and gives them a motivational speech to keep them going. After getting the men to fight, they all die except for Crockett who threatens Houston’s arrival on Santa Anna. Santa Anna does not surrender and says he will kill Crockett on the spot. After Houston arrived Crockett’s word was the truth and the Mexicans were taken down. I thought it was a great film and did a wonderful job in portraying what the Alamo must’ve been like.
