What is Cry Macho about?
A one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man's young son home from Mexico.
Cry Macho is a 2021 American neo-Western drama film directed, produced by and starring Clint Eastwood in his final acting role and written by Nick Schenk and N. Richard Nash, based on Nash's 1975 novel. Set in 1979, it stars Eastwood as a former rodeo star hired to reunite a young boy in Mexico with his father in the United States. There were many attempts to adapt Nash's novel into a film over the years. Arnold Schwarzenegger came on board to star in 2011, but canceled after a scandal. In 2020, Eastwood's adaptation was announced, he produced the film with Albert S. Ruddy, Tim Moore, and Jessica Meier. It is Eastwood's final starring role before his retirement in 2024.
