There are 2 movies I have watched about Math professors along with his genius students , using their skill to win at a casino.
One is "21" in English and the other is "Teen Patti" in Hindi with Amitabh Bachan.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478087/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183917/
The basis of the movies is really probability, card counting and these fellas are able to mentally compute & bet & win at a casino....now that is knowledge being applied....in a way. But gambling & greed etc come into play and knowledge goes for a toss here.
