Synopsis:

Sam Elliot stars as Sam Houston, the visionary who nearly single-handedly forged the state of Texas into a powerful entity in its own right. Refusing to forget the Alamo (as if anyone could), Houston led the military in Texas' rebellion against Mexico. G.D. Spradlin co-stars as President Andrew Jackson, with Michael Beck appearing as Jim Bowie, James Stephens as Stephen Austin, and Richard Yniguez as Mexican General Santa Anna. Lensed on location in the Lone Star state, this sweeping made-for-TV film originally occupied three hours' screen time on November 22, 1986. Its title at that time was Houston: The Legend of Texas.

This gripping biopic tells the story of celebrated American Sam Houston (Sam Elliott) - former governor of Tennessee and the first president of the short-lived Republic of Texas -- who presided over the Lone Star State during the Civil War and led its rebellion against Mexico. This made-for-TV movie also stars G.D. Spradlin as President Andrew Jackson and Richard Yniguez as Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

TV film about the legendary General Sam Houston.
