[[Image:Wishstill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "Wish" video]]
In 1992 the [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video]] for "Wish" premiered. It was directed by [[Peter Christopherson]], who also directed "March Of The Pigs" and the infamous ''[[Broken Movie]].'' Oddly enough, "Wish" bears a strong resemblance to the video for "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by The Scorpions. The video was filmed in November 1992.

The video features the band (Reznor, [[Richard Patrick]], [[James Woolley]] 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 imagery of the band in a cage was previously used in the "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" video.
