The Alamo: Thirteen Days to Glory is a 1987 made-for-TV film starring Brian Keith as Davy Crockett, James Arness as James Bowie, a very young Alec Baldwin as Col. Travis, Raul Julia as Santa Anna, and a single scene cameo by Lorne Greene as Sam Houston.

It was filmed in the same Alamo replica built by John Wayne for the 1960 film.

Much of the footage of the final battle scene was actually from older movies.

This film is based on the book Thirteen Days to Glory by Lon Tinkle.

The story of the famed siege of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution, in which a small band of soldiers held off an overwhelming army under the Mexican general Santa Anna long enough to allow the Texan army to gather its strength. Written by Jim Beaver
