In early spring of 1833, the smoldering resentment of American settlers in Texas against their oppression by Mexico dictator General Santa Anna/Ana coming to a head. When a decree is issued that no more Americans may enter Texas, William H. Wharton, fiery head of a faction determined on independence or nothing, warns Stephen F. Austin that the time for half-measures is past. Austin, responsible for bringing the Americans to Texas as colonists, reminds Wharton that a settler's revolt against Mexico would dishonor his name and the arrangements he had with the Mexican government. He gets the "Whartonites" to agree to a general convention of all colonists. Almerian Dickinson, biggest land owner in the settlement of Gonzales, deeply in love with his wife Anne, warns Wharton that a bloody revolt would endanger every wife and mother in the colony. He proposes they send Austin to Mexico City to ask Santa Anna to grant Texans a voice in their own government.

In order to prove his greatness to his unimpressed girlfriend, Mexican general Max takes a group of men across the border and recaptures the Alamo - international hijinks ensue!

Sam Elliot stars as Sam Houston, the visionary who nearly single-handedly forged the state of Texas into a powerful entity in its own right. Refusing to forget the Alamo (as if anyone could), Houston led the military in Texas' rebellion against Mexico. G.D. Spradlin co-stars as President Andrew Jackson, with Michael Beck appearing as Jim Bowie, James Stephens as Stephen Austin, and Richard Yniguez as Mexican General Santa Anna. Lensed on location in the Lone Star state, this sweeping made-for-TV film originally occupied three hours' screen time on November 22, 1986. Its title at that time was Houston: The Legend of Texas. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Em 1836, o general Santa Anna (Ruben Padilla) e o exército mexicano estão varrendo o Texas. Para poder detê-lo, o general Sam Huston (Richard Boone) precisa de tempo para criar uma resistência. Tentando obter este tempo, ele ordena que o coronel William Travis (Laurence Harvey) defenda uma pequena missão a todo custo na rota dos mexicanos. A pequena tropa de Travis recebe o reforço de grupos que acompanham Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) e Davy Crockett (John Wayne), mas a situação se torna desesperadora. Travis deixa claro que não haverá vergonha se eles partirem enquanto podem, mas cento e oitenta e dois homens decidem fazer uma resistência heróica no forte Álamo.

Primavera de 1836. Mesmo com poucas chances de vitória, cerca de 200 homens de várias raças se unem na defesa de um pequeno forte no Texas. Durante 13 dias eles enfrentam as tropas do general mexicano Santa Anna (Emilio Echevarria).

The story of the defense of the mission-turned-fortress by 185 Texans against an overwhelming Mexican army in 1836.

In the early 1830s Texas was about to explode. Although ruled by Mexico, the region was home to more than 20,000 U.S. settlers agitated by what they saw as restrictive Mexican policies. Mexican officials, concerned with illegal trading and immigration, were prepared to fight hard to keep the province under their control. Caught in the middle were the area's 4,000 Mexican Texans or Tejanos. With war on the horizon, the Tejanos had to pick a side. Many chose to fight with their Anglo neighbors against an army sent by Mexico City. The conflict pitted brother against brother and devastated the community. The Tejano gamble for a more prosperous future in an independent Texas proved tragic. Following the revolution, the Tejanos were overwhelmed by a surge of Anglo immigration -- leaving them foreigners in a land they had fought to defend.
