Quotes:

[first lines]::Narrator: On the first day of December, in 1832, a man rode up to a muddy stream called the Red River. When he crossed this river, he was in Texas. He was a man in search of a new life, because his previous one had left him desolated and sick at heart. He was a man of size and strength and he had history in his hands. His name was Sam Houston.

President Andrew Jackson: Sam, some people have destiny sitting right on their backs of their necks. You're one of 'em. You're a born leader. When you talk, people listen because you love 'em. You'll fight for 'em and you'll die for 'em if you have to... and they know it.

Sam Houston: You may have wondered why I delayed this attack for so long. I wanted Santa Ana to be positive we were running for the United States and then I wanted the Mexican army in a position from which it could not retreat. That's where it is right now. The Bay of San Jacinto is at their backs. All right are there any questions, gentlemen? Good luck - and remember the Alamo!

Santa Ana: General, if I may so, you may consider yourself born to no common destiny. You have conquered the Napoleon of the West. Now it remains to you to be generous to the vanquished.::Sam Houston: You should have remembered that kind of philosophy at the Alamo, General.

Santa Ana: What terms do you propose, General?::Sam Houston: I don't propose terms, I dictate them.

Quotes:

General Sam Houston: I have just received a dispatch that Santa Anna has captured San Antonio. Colonel Travis, with less than 200 men, has withdrawn across the river to the Alamo to prepare for its defense. At the moment, that is the only military force between the Mexican army and the Sabine River... and those men need help!

Lt. Col. Travis: How do you feel, Jim?::Jim Bowie: I'd feel a lot better if somebody moved me out on that wall. I'll never get any shootin' done in here.::Lt. Col. Travis: Don't be too sure of that. There's a lot of 'em left out there. Some of them might even pay you a visit.::Sam: Just bring 'em in! Me and Mr. Bowie all ready for 'em.::Lt. Col. Travis: I don't think we won't have to bring 'em in, Sam. It looks as if they intend to come in on their own.

Davy Crockett: What did he say, Colonel?::Lt. Col. Travis: He just said if we don't walk out of here right now with our hands in the air, we won't walk out at all.::Billings: What are you going to tell him, sir?::Lt. Col. Travis: Is this cannon loaded?

[Reb is complaining about being cooped up in the Alamo]::John Stroud: If you get tired of it here, why don't you walk out?::Reb: I think the biggest mistake I ever made was when I walked in.

Alamo Soldier: Never thought I live to see the day Johnny Stroud would turn yellow.::2nd Alamo Soldier: Who said he is?::Alamo Soldier: He's runnin' out, isn't he?::3rd Alamo Soldier: Did you ever figure it might take more nerve to leave than to stay?::4th Alamo Soldier: The worse that can happen to you is that somebody will say you died a hero. That man's going to called a coward the rest of his life.::Alamo Soldier: Then why's he leavin'?::2nd Alamo Soldier: We drew lots. Johnny always was unlucky.

Jess Wade: Where'd you come from?::John Stroud: Town.::Jess Wade: Why'd you leave?::John Stroud: I had a little throat trouble.::Dawes: They were going to hang him!

Jess Wade: The Alamo? What were you doing there in the first place?::John Stroud: Well, what would you do there if the whole Mexican army...::Jess Wade: That wasn't what I asked.::John Stroud: That's the answer you're going to get.

[last lines]::John Stroud: Carlos, I'll be back for you as soon as I can, son. I'm heading for San Jacinto. All right, Mr. Gage, let's get these wagons rolling.::John Gage: You heard what the man said. Let's get these wagons rolling!::Carlos: He'll come back, Miss Beth.::Beth Anders: I hope so, Carlos.::Carlos: So do I - for both of us.

Plot: In early spring of 1833, the smoldering resentment of American settlers in Texas against their oppression by Mexico dictator General Santa Anna/Ana coming to a head. When a decree is issued that no more Americans may enter Texas, William H. Wharton, fiery head of a faction determined on independence or nothing, warns Stephen F. Austin that the time for half-measures is past. Austin, responsible for bringing the Americans to Texas as colonists, reminds Wharton that a settler's revolt against Mexico would dishonor his name and the arrangements he had with the Mexican government. He gets the "Whartonites" to agree to a general convention of all colonists. Almerian Dickinson, biggest land owner in the settlement of Gonzales, deeply in love with his wife Anne, warns Wharton that a bloody revolt would endanger every wife and mother in the colony. He proposes they send Austin to Mexico City to ask Santa Anna to grant Texans a voice in their own government. After months in Mexico City of waiting to see Santa Anna, Austin is granted a mock interview and then arrested and thrown into a dungeon. In Texas, the months pass with no news from Austin and Wharton goes to work in earnest in early 1835 to fan the fires of revolution. Santa Anna decides to march troops north and finish off the rebel "gringos" - a description that only came later in the conflict - once and for all, and frees Austin to serve as an example. The Texans, under Dickinson and William Barrett Travis, send the advance Mexican troops back across the border in retreat. Austin goes for help from the United States, and the Texans fortify themselves at the old Alamo mission in Bejar with Travis in command. And one February morning, his scouts bring news that Santa Anna is coming with an army of 5,000 men. Anne Dickinson takes her baby, rides for Bejar (San Antonio), slips through the Mexican lines and joins her husband in the beleaguered fort to his mingled joy and horror. The Mexican troops storm the walls day after day but are thrown back by the 183 defenders. At dawn, March 6, 1836, Santa Anna orders the buglers to sound the "deguello" (No quarter) and the final assault begins.
