John Wayne (“Red River“) produces, directs and stars in this “bigger than life“ (Life Magazine) chronicle of one of the most remarkable events in American history. At the Alamo - a crumbling adobe mission - 185 exceptional men joined together in a sacred pact: they would stand firm against an army of 7,000 and willingly give their lives for freedom. Filmed entirely in Texas, only a few miles from the site of the actual battle, “The Alamo“ is a visually stunning and historically accurate celebration of courage and honor. Co-starring Richard Widmark (“Judgment At Nuremberg“), Laurence Harvey (“The Manchurian Candidate“) and Chill Wills (“The Westerner“) and garnering seven Oscar® nominations including Best Picture, it is a “diamond-hard, 'rough-hewn' masterpiece“ (Chicago Daily News)!
