Al Ruddy and Jessica Meier are producing the film, along with Tim Moore and Eastwood at Malpaso. N. Richard Nash, who penned the novel Cry Macho, wrote the script along with Nick Schenk. Based on the book, the film will star Eastwood as a onetime rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1978, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home and away from his alcoholic mom. Crossing rural Mexico on their back way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces a surprisingly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman may find his own sense of redemption through teaching the boy what it means to be a good man.

A leading American daily described it as a morality tale about two characters who help each other through tough transitions. When it comes to the acting part, it hasn’t always been a given that Eastwood would also act in the films he was directing; he usually leaned toward staying behind the camera rather than do both. In recent years, he has been drawn to material that allows for both, most recently him starring and directing the 2018 thriller The Mule.
