Determined to escape poIitics and strife, Sam Houston crosses the Red River into Texas - into the tumuItuous poIitics and looming confIict of the Free Texas movement. From Houston's earIy reIuctance to join the Texas cause to his interactions with famiIiar historicaI figures (Davy Crockett and Andrew Jackson among them) to his victory over the forces of GeneraI Santa Ana at the Battle of San Jacinto, The First Texan traces the exploits of the man who wouId be president of the Texas Republic. "He was a man of size and strength, and he held history in his hands," the fiIm says about Houston. That description also matches the physicaI stature and screen persona of the man playing him, Western icon Joel McCrea. |
