Hungarian Summary:

1836. A Texasi Forradalom egyik kulcsfontosságú eseménye az Alamo-i csata. A felkelők maroknyi csapat több, mint tízszeres túlerővel szemben védte az alamoi missziót. Santa Anna tábornok, a mexikói csapatok fővezére az asszonyoknak, és gyereknek szabad elvonulást engedélyezett, és felajánlotta ezt a férfiaknak is, akik azonban nem éltek a lehetőséggel. A csatában valamennyien ott vesztek, itt halt hősi halált William Travis, James Bowie és Davy Crockett is.
