Production company fined $1.9 million for breaking Harrison Ford’s leg
A Disney-owned production company has been fined $1.946 million by the British government, for its part in a June 2014 accident that broke Harrison Ford’s leg on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Foodles Production (UK) Ltd admitted earlier this year that the accident—which happened, in the actor’s own words, when “a fucking great hydraulic door” hit him in the leg after being accidentally activated on set—could have killed Ford if he had been standing in a different position, or if an emergency stop hadn’t been engaged.
