- 1836, the province of Texas, under the possession of Mexico, rebels against the Mexican dictatorial authority and proclaims its independence. The General Sam Houston (Richard Boone) that commands the armed forces of Texas, is pursued by Santa Ana's troops, far superior in number. Houston decides to take refuge behind the Rio Grande in order to quickly reform a bigger army.
However, Houston needs time, he entrusts the Colonel Travis the mission to stem the progression of the Mexican army. The colonel entrenches himself and his fellowmen, in an old mission half destroyed and transformed for the occasion into a fortress. For 13 days, the legendary Davy Crockett (John Wayne), Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) William Travis (Laurence Harvey) and 184 hardy Americans and Texicans hold the Alamo in hopeless combats against the massive Mexican army.
They know that the final assault will turn to a massacre, but they are ready to write down with their blood one of the most heroic pages of American history.
The Alamo was considered by John Ford as a masterpiece and ranks among cinema’s great classic and stirring movies.

I saw this movie on T.V. with my parents as a little kid, and always remembered the one Texian saying, "That's the best dressed army I've ever seen." I always liked that line.
As an adult I have come to understand this great movie in a some what different light.
"They just spent two years putting down revolts. They're fighting men".
Respect for your enemies! 👍
I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking "geez they didn't even get to enjoy their barbecue".
I just hope the women and kids got some. That's why they went to get it.
Some barbecue!
My elder brother went to see this movie and bought the big brochure book back with him. I kept that book for years - had loads of great photos in it with dialogue accompanying each one. I wish I still had that book.
I do ! 😀
"That's Santa Anna? He's quite the peacock ain't he?"
Shoot his epualet off.
The other Alamo movie!
Very much the "Dandy"
"Hog never rightly could pass for meat."
Well, maybe you just aren't using the proper spices.
docdave15 It does today.
Beautiful
I want to eat my rib before I die sir...
Imagine if imperial march played when he arrived
Would be so epic lol
It should have!
They been putting down revolts
I Think most of the “Fancy” uniforms were left there by the French.
But I could be wrong
It's like Mexico vs America
Mexico vs Tejas you fool
Kinda like it literally was...
@@revelstatus2346 you fuckin get out of youtube don't respond my comments and don't ever call me a fool

Yyyy
Me da risa como los gringos representan al ejército mexicano casi casi como si fuera el ejército francés de Napoleón.
Cuando la realidad fue muy distinta...
En realidad si es correcto para la época
They researched carefully the various Mexican military regiments of the time, including their uniforms. The Mexican army uniforms were recreated quite accurately.
WHAT WAS FESTUS DOING AT THE ALAMO 😮
Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón
El Álamo fue tomado por el Ejército Mexicano al mando de Santana
Davy was not on the wall. His position was the palisade.
As he is depicted. He is only on the wall to get a better view of the Mexicans
They beat the shit out of them
¡Viva Santa Anna gringos jijos de la guayaba!
Mexicans look European, but Americans look the way Mexicans are portrayed in American movies today
Why is there a French flag
Josh Vlogs 101 I’ve been asking that for years. Ever since I first saw this movie. And it can’t be a mistake, there’s plenty of French Flags in Santa Anna’s Army. No one has even tried to answer me.
This is 1836. Napoleon III invasion of Mexico occurred in 1860. These are not captured French flags therefore. Santa Anna was a huge admirer of Napoleon (the 1st) and he often arrogantly referred to himself as the « Napoleon of the West ». Even his troops are modeled on French imperial soldiers. That would explain the flags: an admiration of Napoleon. Hope that helps
J'ai vu un drapeau français non je ne pense pas que mon pays puisse se joindre au Mexique surtout pour la cause du Texas.
@@TimTim-pp3ip It's a leva flag it has nothing to do with france or napoleon
Is the mexican flag but without the coat of arms
