Director and producer Clint Eastwood presents a poignant and at the same time stirring drama. Eastwood himself plays Mike Milo, a former rodeo star and failed horse breeder who travels to Mexico in 1979 on behalf of his ex-boss to bring his young son home. Because the mismatched pair has to make their way home to Texas via back roads, the journey turns out to be surprisingly arduous. And yet the disillusioned horse lover manages to make unexpected connections along the way - and find his own peace of mind.
