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 (EMILIO ECHEVARR�A), ruler of Mexico and commander of its forces.
Led by three men - the young, brash Lt. Col. William Travis (PATRICK WILSON); the violent, passionate James Bowie (JASON PATRIC); and the living legend David Crockett (BILLY BOB THORNTON)-the Texans and their deeds at the Alamo would pass into history as General Sam Houston's (DENNIS QUAID) rallying cry for Texas independence and into legend for their symbolic significance. Director John Lee Hancock ("The Rookie") and Oscar�-winning producers Mark Johnson, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard cross the border to present "The Alamo" as it really was.
