In 1992 the video for "Wish" premiered. It was directed by [[Peter Christopherson]], who also directed "[[March Of The Pigs (song)|March Of The Pigs]]" and the infamous ''[[Broken Movie]].''
The video features the band (Reznor, [[Richard Patrick]], [[James Wooley]] and [[Chris Vrenna]]). performing in a rather ornate cage. Outside of the cage is a mob that seems determined to get into the cage and attack the band. The finale of the video shows the mob accosting the band through the bars, grabbing at them and attempting to bind them. Ultimately, they break through the chain keeping the band locked inside and storm in, wielding baseball bats and other crude weapons. MTV felt that the ending scene was too violent and alternate footage was used for network airplay.
The video can also be found on the ''Broken Movie.'' The only major difference is that footage from the movie can be seen during the video's interlude.
