Major Accidents That Happened On The Set of a Film

 Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Han Solo may have been the man to shoot first, but he definitely did not see this hydraulic door mishap coming. Harrison Ford horrifically broke his ankle while filming a scene in which Han solo stands in front of a hydraulic door while it closes. The door came off of its hinges and trapped Ford’s calf underneath it, breaking his ankle at a 90-degree angle. After only 4 months of recovery and one surgery, Ford was ready to finish shooting the scene.
