  • 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.

    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.

      They researched carefully the various Mexican military regiments of the time, including their uniforms. The Mexican army uniforms were recreated quite accurately.

      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
