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

In the spring of 1836, nearly 200 Texans - men of all races who believed in the future of Texas - held the fort for 13 days under siege by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (Emilio Echevarría), ruler of Mexico and commander of its forces. Led by three men - the young, brash Colonel William Travis (Patrick Wilson); the violent, passionate James Bowie (Jason Patric); and the larger-than-life 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.

Theatrical report

The Alamo is a meandering and boring movie that could equally be called Fun with guns and dress-ups for boys. Even Windtalkers is better. For the dedicated history buff, only.
