SYNOPSIS

Where myth meets history… where legend meets reality … the roads cross at San Antonio de Bexar and the small, ruined mission there: The Alamo.

This new, action-packed retelling of the American legend shows there are at least two sides to every story – and more – when America’s extraordinary figures are involved.

Against all odds in the spring of 1836, less than 200 men – Men of all races who believed in the future of Texas – held the fort against thousands of Mexican soldiers led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, ruler of Mexico and commander of its forces. Led by three men – the young, brash Lt. Col. William Travis; the violent, passionate James Bowie; and the living legend David Crockett – The Texans and their deeds at the Alamo would pass into history as General Sam Houston’s rallying cry for Texas independence and into legend for their symbolic significance.
