The
synopsis:
In 1836,
west of the Mississippi was considered the Wild West and the Texas frontier was
viewed as hell on earth. Crushed from the outside by Mexican armadas and
attacked from within by ferocious Comanche tribes – no one was safe. But this
was a time of bravery, a time to die for what you believed in and a time to
stand tall against the cruel rule of the Mexican General Santa Anna. The heroic
General Sam Houston, the rag tag Rangers and the legendary "Yellow Rose of
Texas,” lead this story of the human will to win against insurmountable odds.
At the end, the Texas flags stood tall and victorious, claiming a piece of
history for all eternity.
