This film, though not overly heavy in combat scenes, goes into accurate detail about the events before, during, and after the events surrounding the Alamo. Events such as the Texian provisional government in San Felipe arguing over their allegiance to Mexico through their oath to the Constitution of 1824, arguments between the War Party and Opposition Party over a desire to invade Matamoros to beat the Mexicans at their own game or taking a defensive posture, through to Sam Houston asking Jim Bowie to destroy the Alamo (part of the reason Bowie chose not was because he didn't have the Oxen needed to carry away the Alamo's cannons, which Houston had requested he seize prior to the demolition).
