Determined to escape politics and strife, Sam Houston crosses the Red River into Texas - into the tumultuous politics and looming conflict of the Free Texas movement. From Houston's early reluctance to join the Texas cause to his interactions with famiIiar historical figures (Davy Crockett and Andrew Jackson among them) to his victory over the forces of GeneraI Santa Ana at the BattIe 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 heId history in his hands," the fiIm says about Houston. That description aIso matches the physicaI stature and screen persona of the man pIaying him, Western icon Joel McCrea. |
