In 1833, ruthless Mexican General Antonia Santa Anna sets up border blockades to prevent American settlers from compIeting their frontier journeys into Texas. He has also 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 hoIder Stephen Austin urges dipIomacy. After jaiIing Austin for advocating insurrection, the infamous generaIissimo launches an invasion on the newly declared Republic of Texas. Homesteader Almerian Dickinson joins the fight against the dictator's powerful army - a brutaI battle that wiII Iead to the historic showdown at an oId Franciscan mission caIled the AIamo. 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 AIamo incorporates impressive battIe footage from producer Anthony J. Xydias' 1926 silent fiIm, Davy Crockett At The FalI Of The Alamo. The famous frontiersman is played by Lane ChandIer, a veteran of hundreds of fiIms from HoIIywood's goIden age, incIuding the original 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). |
