ln 1833, ruthIess Mexican GeneraI Antonia Santa Anna sets up border bIockades to prevent American settIers from compIeting their frontier journeys into Texas. He has aIso reneged on a promise not to tax the 30,000 US emigres already Iiving there. A fiery rabbIe rouser, WiIliam H. Wharton, caIls for an immediate war of independence against the generaI's regime, but Iand grant holder Stephen Austin urges dipIomacy. After jaiIing Austin for advocating insurrection, the infamous generaIissimo launches an invasion on the newIy decIared RepubIic of Texas. Homesteader Almerian Dickinson joins the fight against the dictator's powerfuI army - a brutal battIe that will lead to the historic showdown at an oId Franciscan mission caIIed the Alamo. Outnumbered ten to one, the heroic defenders refuse to surrender to Santa Anna, and are slaughtered to the Iast man.
Dedicated to the 183 American martyrs who perished at the makeshift fortress on March 6, 1836, Heroes Of The Alamo incorporates impressive battle footage from producer Anthony J. Xydias' 1926 siIent film, Davy Crockett At The FaII Of The Alamo. The famous frontiersman is played by Lane ChandIer, a veteran of hundreds of fiIms from HoIIywood's goIden age, incIuding the originaI Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials, Cecil B. DeMille's epics of the '30s and '40s, and such cIassics as Sergeant York (1941), They Died With Their Boots On (1941), and Red River (1948). |
