John Wisdom just can't get a fair shake. In high school, Wisdom drank one too many beers with his buddies, and then they stole a car. After his arrest, a felony conviction blotted his otherwise clean record. Now 23, Wisdom pounds the pavement looking for work -- only to have the door slammed in his face because of his spotty past. He can't even get hired as a janitor! So, with loving girlfriend Karen in tow, he drives about the Southwest and destroys mortgage records from banks in the hope that commoners such as he will not have to pay the greedy money-lenders for what's "theirs," be it farms or homes. The lovers elude the authorities and become a media sensation... but at a potentially deadly cost. [Less]

Estevez vs. Estevez to see whether he's worse as actor or director.

The kind of lunkheaded, downright awful directorial debut that only a mother could love.
