We are original orginal of this video and have watched it on tv once an then this set.
It is one of the best movies we havd seen on the Alamo and the start of Texas as a independant State.
Charle Heston really done a great job in his naration.
It is a solid 3 hr movie with lots of action, love story and other things that make it great.
I highly recommend seeing it, you will not forget it.
