Our “Don’t Mess With Texas” theme continues with one of the most iconic episodes in Texas history; “The Alamo.” We chose the 2004 version of this movie, which is a little more historically accurate than the 1960 John Wayne epic. Directed by John Lee Hancock and starring Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Quaid, this film tells the story of Santa Anna’s siege of the Alamo and the battle for Texan independence.
We also have a crash course on the history of the state of Texas, and the events leading up to the titular event.
So. . . Remember the Alamo! . . . and also that there’s no basement there. . .
