While watching this movie, I can feel the drive behind these men and their fight for Texas independence.
Told from the perspective of Gen. Sam Houston, this movie begins as Houston has just moved to the Mexican territory which is now Texas. We then witness his growing thirst for Texas independence and his subsequent call to arms by President Andrew Jackson.
We see his genius as a military commander in the fight against Mexican General Santa Ana, in what at first appears to be a cowardly retreat against Santa Ana's superior forces.
A wonderful classic for those who like westerns or war movies and for film buffs in general.
