"Cry Macho," based on the book, stars Clint Eastwood as a washed-up horse breeder who accepts a task from an ex-boss in 1978 to bring the man's young boy home and away from his alcoholic mother. On their route back to Texas through rural Mexico, the unusual duo confronts an unexpectedly difficult journey, during which the world-weary horseman may find redemption by teaching the child what it is to be a good man.
