Today's anniversary. Wiki
In San Antonio a ragtag army of settlers and ranchers struggle against the troops of Mexican leader Gen. Santa Anna (Raul Julia). The Texans, led by Col. William Travis (Alec Baldwin) and frontiersman Jim Bowie (James Arness), are forced to hold off Santa Anna's armies at an abandoned mission called the Alamo. Greatly exceeded in firepower by the Mexicans, the besieged soldiers of the Alamo wage their final heroic battle as reinforcements are gathered.
The production was shot at Alamo Village, the Alamo replica in Brackettville, Texas built by John Wayne for his lavish 1960 film The Alamo. Also, much of the footage of the final battle scene was recycled from earlier films. Originally aired on January 26, 1987.
