The Rookie,
The Alamo retells the story of the historic 1836 battle in the Texan War of Independence. Facing 4,000 Mexican troops, 186 Texan soldiers and volunteers -- including William Travis (
Patrick Wilson),
Davy Crockett (
Billy Bob Thornton), and
Jim Bowie (
Jason Patric) -- retreat within the walls of the Alamo, a Franciscan mission that was converted into a military fort. Once inside, the men prepare themselves for what will be a bloody battle to the death, as General
Sam Houston (
Quaid) leads the charge from the outside.
Emilio Echevarria and
Jordi Molla co-star.
