Major Accidents That Happened On The Set of a Film

The Conqueror

The Conqueror has been listed as one of the worst movies of all time more than once. This 1956 retelling of the rampage of Ghengis Khan was capped when 91 of the 220 cast members contracted deadly cancers due to the location of the movie’s filming. This movie was shot in St. George, Utah, only two miles where the U.S. Military tested nuclear weapons during WWII. Of the 91 members of the cast that got cancer, 81 died within the year and the rest died progressively after that.
