Synopsis
The Alamo (1960) is John Wayne's historical western epic you can watch online on iFILM. Wayne both directed and starred as Davy Crockett in this 162-minute production shot on location in Texas — one of the most ambitious American films of its era, built at a personal cost of $12 million.
February 1836. General Santa Anna's army closes in on a crumbling San Antonio mission held by roughly 180 volunteers. Colonel William Travis (Laurence Harvey), Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark), and Crockett each know the odds. Their job is not to win — it's to hold long enough for Sam Houston to gather a real army. Every hour matters.
Wayne spent years developing the project as a statement about freedom and sacrifice; it earned seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. For a film made over six decades ago, it still lands as something genuinely felt rather than merely spectacular. Stream The Alamo (1960) online on iFILM.
