Retells the story of the historic 1836 battle. Facing 4,000 Mexican troops, 186 soldiers and volunteers, including William Travis, Davy Crockett, and Jim Bowie, retreat to within the walls of the Alamo, a Franciscan mission that was converted into a military fort. Once inside, the men prepare themselves for what will be a bloody battle to the death. U.S. General Sam Houston leads the charge from the outside, and the Texans hold the fort for 13 days under siege by General Santa Anna.
