Cry Macho (2021)
By 1979, Texan rodeo star Mike Milo has retired due to a severe back injury. The following year, his former boss Howard Polk hires him to travel to Mexico City and bring back Howard’s 13-year-old son, Rafo. He agrees and upon entering Mexico, he meets the boy’s mother, Leta, who tells him that Rafo has turned to a life of crime, participating in cockfights with a rooster named Macho. Soon after, Mike finds Rafo participating in a cockfight that is interrupted by a police raid. After the police depart, Mike tells Rafo that his father wants to see him. Intrigued, Rafo agrees to go with Mike back to Texas and leaves to pack his stuff.
A drunk Leta tells Mike that she wants her son to stay in Mexico and threatens him. After Mike leaves, Leta orders several of her henchmen to follow him. Driving back to Texas alone, Mike discovers that Rafo has snuck into his truck with Macho. When Rafo steals his wallet and shares his desire to spend time with his father, Mike agrees to drive him to the border. During the drive there, the pair share stories about their lives, including how Leta’s henchmen used to abuse Rafo, and discuss the meaning of being “macho.” At a restaurant, Mike phones Howard and tells him that he has found Rafo. Outside of the restaurant, one of Leta’s henchmen, Aurelio, tries to forcefully take Rafo and tells the locals that Mike has kidnapped him.
