Synopsis

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 can't hold down a decent job. Seeing little future for himself, Wisdom takes a left turn and 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), erasing loan and mortgage records so the poor can have a little more time to pay their debts. Already with the FBI on their tail, things take a turn for the worse when Karen murders a local sheriff.
