From Warner Bros. Pictures come director/producer Clint Eastwood’s uplifting and poignant drama “Cry Macho.” The film stars Eastwood as Mike Milo, a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1979, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home from Mexico. Forced to take the backroads on their way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds unexpected connections and his own sense of redemption.

Cry Macho stars Clint Eastwood alongside Natalia Traven (Collateral Damage), Dwight Yoakam (Logan Lucky), Fernanda Urrejola (Narcos: Mexico), Horacio Garcia-Rojas (also Narcos: Mexico) and newcomer Eduardo Minett.

Cry Macho is out now in theaters and on HBO Max in the US rides into UK cinemas from November 12th.
