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.
Remember the Alamo !

One of my favorite things about this scene is that it doesn’t show the Mexican army as marauders, but shows them with dignity, respect and as a professional army.
That song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I was a little girl when John Wayne died, and when they broke in on TV programming to announce it, I felt like my own father had died, like my world wasn't safe anymore, and I cried like a baby.
Same for me.
@@adiwannenobi me too
We need John Wayne in 2020. There are actors like Jon Voight speaking out
You understand, as I do.
I was just a 17 year old USMC recruit at MCRD San Diego when John Wayne died, the entire base came to a stand still that day.
for all the inaccuracies of this film, i do give them credit for not demonizing the Mexicans.
It would have been easy to do so. Earlier in the movie, the Texans talk of the bravery of the Mexican soldiers. Ordered to charge and face musket fire and cannon.
@@ConstancioRosellini5873 you're just spamming all videos on this movie and ignoring details such as Santa Anna dissolving the Texas legislature and 1824 constitution. Stop being a salty little boi with a fake account and get a life.
Pues solo se aumentaron el ego poniendo un ejército bien armado y entrenado de parte de los mexicanos.
Magnificient on horseback!
Yep in war theres no bad guys
I was 8 years old when my Mum and Dad to me to see The Alamo in Manchester UK, it was when you had to book your theatre tickets for big films like this and I remember us joining the que in front of the theatre, there were big stills from the film along the front of the cinema, and I remember the excitement in me before we even got inside the cinema, l'm 66 now and every time I watch The Alamo I always think of the first time I saw this on the big screen, and coming out at the end crying my eyes out!!!, what a fantastic film.
My grandfather Ruben Padilla was General Santa Anna in this Movie.
Even though Santa Anna was the bad guy in the movie, what an honor that your grandfather was Santa Anna.
Respect....Santa Ana was a gentleman
Nice
Very cool!
The Alamo is a beautiful story. I’m ashamed of everyone who is ashamed of it
Fax
Same
Well peapole hate John Wayne but has a great story
Who has a great story?
There is the "American" and the Mexican version. I dont think we will ever know. I do assume the real Susanna probably didnt wear lipstick and mascara.
This is one of the greatest history plus western movies of all time 185 men vs 7000 Mexican troops in the most savage kombat in History and you will always remember The Alamo
Remember those 13 days of glory that a flag was waving over The Alamo was a symbol for the men that died that is we need to know about the 13 days of glory of the siege of the Alamo
2022 and I still watch this scene from time to time. As a retired vet, I have a tradition to fly two flags 24/7 - the American and the Texas flags until the end of February. Then I take down the Texas flag and replace it with a replica of the flag Travis flew over the Alamo. It stays up until March 7th, the day after the Alamo fell. Obviously, I love studying history and Texas history. We have too many non-Texans now and I feel our history and yes egos are slipping by the wayside.
A true American story in a true American epic! LOVE THIS MOVIE even if it wasn't historically accurate. One of the best ever made.
I have to say that the movie gave a honorable depiction of both sides.
@@burtmurphy6261A well made epic war movie,but it does little to explain the causes of the Texas Revolution or why the battle took place. There is not a single scene in which corresponds to a historically verifiable incident. The historical advisors for the film wouldnt even be credited,so they had their names removed....
OMG! I've seen this ending a 100 times...it's brilliant! John Wayne knew how to do/be Texan!!
Currently, there are no Texans.
The Americans who now reside in Texas are descendants of immigrant pirates.
The little girl was John Wayne's youngest daughter Alissa
@@tlacaelelcecelic6755 f u
Wasn’t Crockett a Tennessean?
@@willieholmes1483yes he was😊
I'm not Texan or even American but when Lisa says "Where's Daddy , Mommy?" that's it for me get the tissues .
Wheres daddy the slavist scumbag
manuel monero Lisa was a child asking where her father had gone not a soldier or as you put it a " slavist scumbag " so I have a question for you if you died in battle wouldn't you want your children to know where you were ? I don't condone the Texicans for keeping slaves but this a child we're talking about .
@@robertclark2253 its fucking true there entire movement was based on these greedy basterds wanting slaves.
I wasn't talking about the politics I was talking about a child calling out for her father suggest you read the comment again .
@@manuelmoreno-st3hd All the men at the Alamo died heroes scumbag ( your so but hurt)
The survivor lady is Mrs. /dickenson. Until de la Pena's journal was discovered 15 or 20 years ago, her account of the siege was the best available source.Much of Wayne's script was based on it!
The de la Pena's journal is actually two, one is for a fact his, the other is a fake. There is a good book on the reasons why it is a fake and the prove given is well researched.
Rick O'Shay the best evidence that Davy Crockett died in the court yard fighting comes from a Mexican Sargent, who saw a man in an odd hat never missed firing a rifle and killed many Mexicans that night. That man was killed by a Lt. with a saber, and who is the man in the odd hat, Davy as he wore a stove type hat with no brim and a fox tail on the back.
May Davy Crockett James Bowie And Travis Rest In Peace with there brothers that died at the Alamo with them Remember the Alamo
Forget the Alamo!
@@tlacaelelcecelic6755 Shut up! You terrible excuse for an American.

Ha, ha, ha, gringos...
Fuck the Alamo!
@@Fantom6400 fuck you pos why tf u click this video
Like the 300 Spartans, the Waldenses of Rora, and the Jews of Masada, the men who gave their lives at the Alamo will never be forgotten. They will forever be remembered as men who, when facing certain death, didn't flinch or run away, but stood firm together, defying all odds, until the very end. Rest well, heroes, and know that you're sacrifice and heroism will never be forgotten!
Just like Bodicea and Iceni against Roman legions in Watling Street in ancient times , the gallantry of El Cid of southern Spain against the Moors or William Wallace of the Scots against the numerically superior English .
@@robertclark2253 Well said.
I remember watching this for the first time. There were tears
I'm pretty sure this is the lyrics for the part sung right after Mrs. Dickinson glares at Santa Anna and leaves. Just in case anyone's curious.
Let the old men tell the story,
Let the legend grow and grow,
Of the 13 days of glory,
at the siege of Alamo.
Lift up tattered banners proudly,
While the eyes of Texas shine,
Let the fort that was a mission,
Be an everlasting shrine.
Once they fought to give us freedom,
that is all we need to know,
the 13 days of glory,
at the siege of Alamo.
Now the bugles are silent,
and there's rust on each sword,
and the small band of soldiers,
lie asleep in the arms of the Lord.
Those who've stood against impossible odds, such as the Jews of Masada, the 300 Spartans, the Waldenses of Rora, and the heroes of Alamo, are an inspiration to all to stand against tyranny. They will never be forgotten.
Bodicea and the Iceni against the Roman legions , the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava , the RAF against the Luftwaffe during the Blitz and the Battle of Britain , William Wallace and the Scots against the numerically superior English , the Dunkirk evacuation , El Cid against the Moors , 300 Spartans , Mad Jack Churchill , Sergeant "Big" Bill Speakman , Boy Jack at the Battle of Jutland and so many more
That ending always brings me to tears.
It got me in tears too especially with the daughter asking where's her dad
Head Cannon: Smitty took part in the Battle of San Jacinto under Sam Houston...he survived and returned to Tennessee afterwards.
'Sweet and touching' Tennessee baby and 'Brave and soul 'Thirteen days glory,,
Great ending forever and I can't see this scene
without uncountable lot tears always...
Great movie, great cast, amazing action. I wonder if the movie was hurt by the fact that we were already used to Fess Parker as Davy Crockett. The Alamo episode in Disney's Davy Crocket was pretty good and more than adequate for somebody in the third grade. Somebody on Amazon said Wayne did finally make back his money on this film when the rights were sold to television so that's good to hear if it's true.
Santa Anna is lucky that this movie is based on real events. Because that (2:04) is the face you get from the person who kills you in the sequel
Santa Anna was very kind. It was his obligation to stop the Americans there, and his right to use any means to fulfill that purpose. But he trusted himself.
One part of the movie is historically incorrect. In the movie, Jim Bowie has a broken leg. In real life, he was deathly ill.
@@tlacaelelcecelic6755There is certainly no shame attached to the Mexican soldiers, neither at the Alamo nor at Goliad. They were simply soldiers obeying orders and fighting for their country. However, I'm afraid Santa Anna was anything but a kind man. He was known to force young girls from cities they occupied to "marry" him on the spot then sleep with him until they pulled out. Also, when General Urea's army defeated Fannin's relief force and imprisoned them (approx. 350 men) at Presidio la Bahia in Goliad, Santa Anna sent him a letter telling Urea to execute them all, including the wounded. Urea (who was indeed a kind man) wrote him back stating that the men had fought honorably and were soldiers. He begged that the order to execute them be rescinded. Santa Anna wrote him back and told him that he considered them nothing more than pirates and repeated the order to execute them with no more argument.
Even I, a very dedicated Texan, have a tremendous amount of respect for General Urea. It took a great deal of courage to attempt to go against a dictator's orders. But respect for Santa Anna? I'm afraid not.
Frankie Avalon has a similar look at 2:22
@@Guitar_Guy783 Several parts are historically incorrect, but it is a movie.
Absolutly great movie. Hail John Wayne for producing it.....
The 1960 movie, while not 100% historically accurate, was 100% effective in capturing the spirit of the Alamo defenders and the profound importance of the self-sacrifice that they made to secure the freedom of Texas.
The stand at the Alamo was one of the greatest “last stands” in all of the history of Western Civilization and ranks with Thermopylae and Roarke’s Drift as one of the 3 greatest defenses to the last man in Western history.
People wonder why Texans have an ego, this movie is an excellent explanation of why
You are correct. I am a 7th generation Texan and my ancestors lived in Texas from colonization - thru the Revolution - and onward in the Republic of Texas until the Treaty of Annexation and statehood and all that followed. I am a member of The Sons of the Republic of Texas and am immensely proud of this heritage. It is a privilege to be descended from such hardy stock but Lord, we are so unworthy of their sacrifice today. I cry when I look at what the country is like today. Even Texas is not as great as it once was. I hope that reverses at some point soon.

Hi, Marian
I really wish they could release The Director's Cut for the movie's anniversary on 2020, on DVD and Blu Ray.
But after hearing the news that the scenes were lost and deteriorated to time, we may never see it. Only way to see it in on a 2 VHS Director's Cut.
This movie is all around awesome.
AngelBlancoArts no, I think there is a directors cut. I’m trying to do some research
There are a few sites that are saying that there is one. Where did you see that the scenes were lost?
I'd have to see the movie again to say exactly where this scene was lost and that scene. Basically, about 30 minutes were taken out of the movie that's on DVD and Blu Ray now.
Some missing scenes include:
*A birthday party for Col. Dickenson's daughter, with everyone in the Alamo celebrating
*The death of the Parson with a very emotional speech before he dies
*A little more backstory for Flaca's lover/boyfriend, and then his death
*A few extended scenes throughout the movie, including the final battle
And a few more that I can't remember.
And yes, there IS a Director's Cut, but the original films have long since deteriorated after being poorly stored away somewhere at a former film worker's house.
The film isn't necessarily lost media, since there's still the double VHS Director's Cut Edition (or as it says on the cover "Original Uncut Version") But due to the original film strips being lost, there might never be a Director's Cut DVD or Blu Ray.
Closest we'll have to The Director's Cut in disk format is the Laserdisc version.
Here are a few links to where you can buy the Directo's Cut on VHS and Laserdisc
www.amazon.com/Alamo-Restored-Original-Directors-Cut/dp/6302453232

Here's even a link where you can buy a bootleg version of the Director's Cut on DVD. I wouldn't know the quality of them though.
my friend, the only complete cut of the 1927 Silent film "Metropolis" was rotting in a Buenos Aeries film archive for almost 90 years. they still restored almost 30 minutes of footage that was thought lost forever.
this film is a lot younger.
Thats really beatiful and as a mexican Im really happy for the respectful atitude of this movie about my country. I really hope that some day will be a movie thats tell mexicans side of this story. But still, this is great.... Sorry for my bad English, i'm still learning
@Rick O'Shay it depends of what exactly you mean, in general terms is true that Santa Anna is a non welcomed person in the mmory of Mexico. But when it comes to the war of Texas, and US invassion of 1846-1848, mexican people usually "Takes the side" of Santa Anna.
What I mean is that it will be great to see a movie, about the mexicans who fought against the texans rebels.
Santa Anna flip- flopped much in his career so I don' t know which story you want to tell
@@dannyventure Mexicans who figt in Texas and in the Mexican American didnt fight for Santa Anna, even if he many times was the comander, so the story that would be interesting to see in a movie is about this mexicans. Santa Anna aside
@@Catolicoporsiempre1 Yes it would, maybe you should outline a script.
@@dannyventure haha maybe, I am in the present a student of History at the university in Mexico, My plan is one day write historical novels, so why not to try some day writ a script for a movie?
Pellicola molto bella ispirata alla vera storia della Battaglia di Alamo, nulla di eccezionale e nella prima parte è troppo lenta ma comunque si lascia seguire con scene dei combattimenti realistiche e ben realizzate, ci sono degli anacronismi come il fatto che la caratteristica chiesa di Alamo sfoggia finestre superiori che non furono installate fino a circa 15 anni dopo la battaglia. Ci sono anche altre imprecisioni architettoniche, quindi molto bella e molto bella per me come valutazione è 7,5.
Fight for the freedom of Texas from tyranny...Either way..The ALAMO was a symbol for many battles on or abroad our nation..I liked the way THE DUKE,who loved his country so much and made it a point to let Americans know,showed class and respect in this movie...
very touching scene.im so glad they spared the lady and her little one
"Let the old men tell the story
Let the legend grow and grow
Of the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo.
Lift the tannered banners proudly
While the eyes of Texas shine.
Let the fort that was a mission
Be an everlasting shrine.
Once they fought to give us freedom
That is all we need to know
Of the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo."
"The soldiers lie asleep in the arms of the lord" 🙏
Santa Anna wasn't that old, there you can see about 60 years, when the Battle of the Alamo happened he was 41, he wasn't a young man but he wasn't an old man either.
They say that te movie was not a big hit, I thought it was very well made and I really liked it. You cannot help getting misty with this last scene.
John wayne pased about 5 years before I was born, but I still have fond memories watching this and a number of others growing up.
My favorites being the fighting Kentuckian and Rio Bravo.
Glory...Bravest Men EVER!!!!
I wish there could be a Alamo re-enactment like the Civil War re-enactment
my ancestor married Margaret Crockett so I'm related to davy crockett
Robert Montgomery what?!

HEROS NEVER DIED
When Lisa asks where her dad is at 0:45, it makes me tear up.
I also wanted to thank you Adrian for posting some clips from John Wayne's Alamo. It is my favorite movie.
Lisa was Wayne's daughter
Very well composed and with the movie it has real feeling.
Great !! One of the best movies i have ever seen
It's a cool movie celebrating Texas history and what is wrong with having legends.
Tennessee Baby has been a very touching song being like from angels...
And she won as a human staying in the battle field 2:08 despite her husband and the others gone..
Let the old man tell the story let the legend grow and grow of the 13 days of glory at the siege of alamo lift the talent banners proudly let the eyes of texas shine let the fourt it was a mission mean of mean every lasting shine once they fought to give us freedom that is all we need to know of the 13 days of glory at the siege of alamo 😢
Chef d'oeuvre!
Remembering the great sacrifice of the many who gave lifes for Texas...
I think my favorite scene was the one with Jocko and his wife. Jock represented the men who were not famous but gave everything they had. I was not an easy thing for his family to have to get along without him on the Texas frontier in those days.
And the story is being told still.
Like so many others

Es una lástima que esta escena tenga tan pocas visitas. Sin embargo me atreveré a decir algo, por si alguien lo lee. En este episodio se forjaron dos naciones, querámoslo o no, aquí nació México y Estados Unidps, El primero sometido al parecer para siempre a su más poderoso vecino. Puedo escribir esto también en inglés, pero no tengo ganas.
Dos naciones, Texas y Mexico :)
Los estados unidos es diferente que Tejas, diferente cultura, diferente historia, diferente gente.
Could you please post the entire final battle scene of this movie the ending of the movie
2:10 goosebumps...
MEE TO
They died like patriots. Remember the Alamo
No. They died like pirates.
Viva Santa Anna!
they weren't pirates they were heroes and men who were defending their rights also no one in Mexico likes Santa Anna because he was a tyrant and murderer who killed his own people. Remember the alamo
That all depends on you point of view, but at the end of the day history is always seen from the winning side, but the real truth of matter is that one man's patriot is another man' traitor. So men in the Alamo were both patriots and traitors at the same time. And that.s the sad truth of a civil war It all depend in your point of view and what side of the argument your on
Yes, the mexicans patriots!
They fought against a man who butchered his own people. The Texans lost the battle, but crippled Santa Anna's Forces to were they couldn't march for weeks. Houston prevailed a month later by forcing Santa Anna to chase him and fight on his terms...Texans won
A Full Length Orginal 1960 version re-mastered Bluray of this great movie
The actress in this scene is Joan O'Brien. She is stunningly beautiful.
And in 2023 still alive.
The awkward moment when a movie from 1960 has a more nuanced version of Santa Anna than the cartoonish version of 2004.
They showed this movie in my high school history class
great scene it shows respect and honor on both sides.

Thank You Patriot greetings from Germany
This movie could have been a lot better, John Wayne is a hell of a great actor but not a very good director.
A lot of these problems are found within the films script which was unnecessarily long (put down your keyboards! Yes, I have the attention span much longer than a goldfish thank you very much) I love historical epics, they are one of my favorite types of genres (Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the the River Kwai, Doctor Zhviago, How the West was won, Ben Hur, Gone with the Wind etc) this film could have been up there, but it has its flaws, one of them as mentioned before is its screenplay.
Wayne is no stranger filmmaking, but The Alamo (1960) includes many subplots and characters that have no point in being there. For example, there’s a sub plot where Davy Crockett falls in love with a Mexican Woman who is in an arranged marriage with a supporter of Santa Anna. This could have led to something but no instead she disappears within the 1st half never to be seen again.
Play a drinking game, take a shot every time some threatens to leave the Alamo, you’ll be dead before the movie is over. I got way too sick and tired of seeing Bowie way “I’m leaving with my boys”, you can get away with it once but after that it loses all of its impact fullness.
I won’t be the first to say it but John Wayne should have played Bowie instead of Crockett.
I do like how Wayne is able to direct the battle scenes. The excitement one gets from watching a small group of rabble fight off against an overwhelming Mexican Force is incredible. I am glad they didn’t vilify the Mexicans, which they very well could have. I just wish we could have gotten more of this instead of watching Crockett and Co go on another raid. If about 20-30 minutes of this film was trimmed, we would have had a better product.
I love John Wayne to death but this is definitely one of his weaker films. Instead of the great American icon I view him as, this film is what I call the “cartoony John Wayne”. It’s almost like something you’d see the characters watching on t.v in the Simpsons.
So yeah about a 5 or 6/10 for me.
Susanna Dickinson wasn't as good looking as Joan O'Brien..... that's for sure.

Malheureusement les renforts ne sont pas venus. Sam Houston aurait put faire l'effort de venir aider ses 200 hommes à Alamo.

The Alamo, The Cowboys, and The Shootist were the only WESTERNS where John Wayne's character dies in the film, I believe. Any others come to mind??

He also dies in sands of iwojima
@@glenysbickerstaffe7596 I said Westerns.

Joan O'Brien was smokin hot
Great movie. Changed my life when I was 9. Kennedy won the election. Things were good for a while.
I thought the song was "Santa Anna came prancing on a horse that was black as the night".
I think I would have liked it more if there were several smaller countries rather than a giant USA or a giant Mexico, I like them more.
What’s the girls actors name

Where's daddy, mommy?
Well, part of him is over here, actually.
remember the alamo,and rebuild it in san antonio!jesus,states, make it one time the right way!
The movie had alot of historic inaccuracies. However, im glad they didnt show Santa Anna as some monster. He was a leader of a nation trying to stop a rebellion as any nation leader would. He said the women and children could leave and would not be harmed.
Though i doubt santa anna ever met mrs.dickenson. i thought it was a nice touch to order his men to stand and to take off his hat as a sign of respect to a widow.
He interviewed each of the survivors personally and even offered to adopt her daughter
He was a pompous murderer guilty of war crimes. He's lucky he wasn't executed. He had the few survivors mercilessly killed, and had all the bodies of the defenders of the Alamo burned.
Pretty good movie . Not historical accuracy . But I seen 5 times is good movie made . Good production. Hollywood should a make a movie of South America history. Simon bolivar , Jose Antonio de sucre , Miranda, narino , Northern part of South America. Southern part of South America. San Martin, o'higgins , Leon de Almeida. And the gauchos of Southern Uruguay. And the armies campesinos of Paraguay. United States in the past wanted to invade South America. During the time of Mexican American War. But later with intelligence decided not . 1. Reason the generals were young and very very very tactical. Strategist. Used and known the topography. Highlands altitude more than 2000 meters above sea level . The jungles close to the Amazon. We're most natives were against any invasion and know how to fight in the jungle with traps . The size of South America is large . And during that time were no tanks . Only personnel to land on a beach waiting . Inland . So I guess seeing all that and already wasting most of the resources . And winning . attacking or invading South America, no go . Too risky. Would had too many casualties.
Susanna Dickinson was the surviving woman, who Mexicans allowed to live. Her historic photo reveals that she was not a pretty blonde with makeup, like her actor in this movie. Hollywood was more interested in having a pretty woman than adhering to historical accuracy.
This entire film is a testament to the fact hollywood doesnt value accuracy
@@martyrobbins5241 That goes for a majority of all historical movies ever made in the US. In this case, it would stir less interest had Wayne stuck to the way the final battle got executed, being done at dusk of dawn and over within some 20 minutes. Mexican casualties were huge due to charge directly into cannon fire of defenders...that much was correct. The later Disney version was more correct but boring as hell.
C'est la fin
MAKES ME PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
The Governor of Texas has drew a line in sand today concerning the invading people crossing our border illegally.
EIN GROSSARTIGER FILM
her look at 2.04 says it all!...we will avenge the Alamo...we are from Anglo Saxon stock..your world will soon tremble at our retribution....
there were mexicans that fought at the alamo......look it up.....
Jeffrey Turkel they were known as tejanos. they too were under Santa Anna rule.
There were a lot of brave men on both sides who died mostly for the vainglory of one man. Santa Anna was most fortunate at San Jacinto he didn't go down stream to feed the sharks.
Typical racist. No wonder people of colour do not want to stand for the national anthem.
I'm sure that's because of one persons youtube comment
The only mistake they made in this movie was casting Duke as Davy.

Was Travis really as asshole as in the movie?
It was a complicated situation at the Alamo. Travis was a military man and a lot of the men there were not.
