1836 : le Texas, alors province du Mexique, se rebelle et proclame son indépendance. Pendant treize jours, 185 braves, menés entre autres par le légendaire Davy Crockett, enrayent la progression de l’armée mexicaine, forte de 7000 hommes, depuis une mission en ruines baptisée Alamo. Ils savent que l’assaut final tournera au massacre. Mais ils sont prêts à écrire de leur sang l’une des pages les plus héroïques de l’histoire de leur pays… (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM))

John Wayne was not only a great actor who forever became the embodiment of principled and honorable men, but he also dabbled in other professions. The role of a producer almost seems obvious, but he also sat in the director's chair. "Alamo" was his first and actually only film where he was credited as the sole director. It's not surprising. It can essentially be said that it is Duke's opus magnum, a work he had been preparing for his whole life. Not to showcase how great of an actor he was, but primarily to showcase how aware he was of the strength of his nation, how much he recognized the need for those honorable and brave men. "Alamo" is essentially one of the few options that truly presented itself. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/02/alamo-1960-80.html
