Clint Eastwood, 91, returns to the big screen for the first time in three years in the new trailer for his latest movie ‘Cry Macho’

The film is Eastwood’s 39th as a director, while also starring as one-time rodeo star Mike Milo in the film, which is set in 1979.

The trailer begins with Mike’s old boss Howard (Dwight Yoakam) talking about Mike’s glory days, saying he was, ‘afraid to lose you to the competition’ as we see photos and ribbons from his rodeo days.

Howard adds that he won the All-American five times, but, ‘that was a long time ago, wasn’t it? That was before the accident, before the booze. You know how many people told me to just cut you loose?’

We then get our first look at both Howard and Mike, with Howard plainly stating, ‘Well are you gonna say anything?’

Say something: We then get our first look at both Howard and Mike, with Howard plainly stating, ‘Well are you gonna say anything?’

‘Howard, I’ve always thought of you as a small, weak, and gutless man. But you know, there’s no reason to be rude,’ Mike says.

Howard tells Mike that he still owes Mike and that he gave him his word, ‘and that used to mean something.’

Howard explains that his son Rafael is in trouble in Mexico and he wants to get him out, which Mike asks, ‘You want me to go down there and kidnap him?’

Rafo surfaces and says, ‘Touch me and I’ll kick your a**, old man,’ though he somehow seems to convince him.

This odd couple is seen on the side of the road, with Mike telling Rafo to ‘get in the back,’  but he says, ‘We go when I tell you, OK?’

Mike angrily tells him, ‘The only place you’re gonna go is the hospital,’ as Rafo says, ‘You get too angry. It’s not good for you.’

‘Just people trying to be macho to show that they’ve got grit. That’s about all they end up with,’ Mike says as Rafo reflects in the car.

Mike explains, ‘It’s like anything else in life, you think you got all the answers… then you realize as you get older you don’t have any of them.’

Mike is seen introducing himself to a woman named Marta (Natalia Traven) while Rafo is seen talking with a younger girl on the bed of the truck.
