IMAX Theater, San Antonio

The story of the fall of the Alamo comes to life on this six-story screen several times daily. This 45-minute docudrama is one of the best film versions of the 13-day siege, giving viewers a real sense of participation in the action. The film was produced at Alamo Village in the West Texas town of Brackettville, using a replica of the Alamo built for the John Wayne film of the same name. From a rolling thunderstorm over the rugged Texas landscape to the daybreak siege by Santa Anna's troops, this movie makes viewers feel as if they are witnessing the fateful battle and the days leading up to it.

When not running "The Price of Freedom," the IMAX shows other films produced especially for the big screen. There's also an excellent gift shop at the front of the theater (you don't have to be a theatergoer to stop in) featuring Texana materials.

Location: . 849 E. Commerce at Rivercenter Mall
