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 honour. Co-starring Richard Widmark, Laurence Harvey and Chill Wills, and garnering seven Oscar nominations, it is a truly memorable movie spectacle.

John Wayne directs and stars in this classic Western based on the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. Colonel Davy Crockett (Wayne) along with Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) and William Travis (Laurence Harvey) and an army of 184 Americans, plot to defend the Alamo mission against the Mexican Santa Anna Generalissimo Antonio Miguel Lopez (Ruben Padilla). Although severely outnumbered as they face Ana's 7,000-strong army, their strong will and determination to succeed carries them through. The film won the Academy Award for Best Sound and was nominated for six others including Best Supporting Actor (Chill Wills), Best Cinematography and Best Picture.
