CRY MACHO stars Clint Eastwood as Mike Milo, a one-time rodeo star and retired rodeo horse breeder and trainer. A year after his friend and boss fires him, the boss asks Mike to travel to Mexico City and take back his 13-year-old boy, Raphael, from the boy’s criminal, alcoholic mother. Mike convinces Raphael to come to Texas, but the mother sends a henchman after them. So, they take the back roads. Eventually, they hide out in a sleepy little border town. They befriend a widowed woman who owns a small restaurant and takes care of her orphaned grandchildren. Meanwhile, Mike helps a local rancher train wild horses, and Raphael learns to ride.
