Wisdom is a 1986 American crime film. It was written and directed by its star, Emilio Estevez, in his filmmaking debut. The film also stars Demi Moore, along with Tom Skeritt and Veronica Cartwright as Estevez's parents. Emilio dedicated the film to the memory of his friend Henry Proach. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox. The end credits song is "Home Again" by Oingo Boingo and the score by Danny Elfman.
The film was not popular with critics; Leonard Maltin considered it "wretchedly scripted, with one of the most self-defeating wrap-ups you'll ever see." In March 2009 Warner Bros. announced Wisdom would be available as one of the films in its special "Warner Archive" promotion. The film could be special ordered on DVD or downloaded directly to PC.

Plot [link]
John Wisdom (Estevez) is a young man just out of college. He's branded a felon after a grand theft auto conviction on the night of his high school graduation, and as a result can't hold down a decent job. Seeing little future for himself, Wisdom takes a left turn: he becomes a criminal "for the people," evocative of Robin Hood. After seeing news reports about all the impoverished farmers and working class being sent to the bank to pay ownership debts, Wisdom goes on a bank robbing spree with his girlfriend, Karen (Moore); they erase loan and mortgage records, buying time for the poor to pay their debts. With the FBI after them, things take a turn for the worse when a panicky Karen murders a local sheriff. She and Wisdom make a run for the Canadian border, but when Karen is shot by a police helicopter, Wisdom leaves her in the care of some university medical students. He resumes his flight, but is surrounded by police and federal agents at a college football field. As Wisdom appears to be reaching for his gun, he is riddled with gunfire and dies.
John wakes up where the film started, in his parents' bathroom. He emerges from the shower and proceeds to get ready for his job interview. His entire story has apparently been a daydream.

Wisdom
by: AlexthomasdavisI once knew a wise man
He took his last stand
On a hill
Surrounded by his lovers
On a pill
So he could rediscover
The way
That his brain worked
That day
He wore the same shirt
He had worn
Every day of his life
Collar torn
He twisted in the knife
Into his own gut
The blood
Came out in a flood
Onto the hill
It splashed across his lovers
What a kill
He wanted them to suffer
