This film rates high for historical accuracy as it recreates events before, during, and after the 1836 siege at the Alamo when a group of Texans–including Davy Crockett (Billy Bob Thornton) and James Bowie (Jason Patric)–tried to hold off Santa Anna's Mexican forces. Inside the Alamo, they try unsuccessfully during a 13-day siege to defend the Spanish mission, and Sam Houston (Dennis Quaid) and his troops retaliate after the fall of the Alamo.

The operation is performed at OCP–Omni Consumer Products, the corporation that runs the futuristic city–and RoboCop is out on the streets defending justice. His former partner Officer Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen) tries unsuccessfully to help RoboCop remember his past as he pursues the criminals who tried to kill him. Followed by two sequels.
