Based on the book, âCry Machoâ stars Clint Eastwood as a oneâtime rodeo star and washed up horse breeder who, in 1978, takes a job from an exâboss to bring the manâs young son home and away from his alcoholic mom. Crossing rural Mexico on their back way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the worldâweary horseman may find his own sense of redemption through teaching the boy what it means to be a good man.
