Harrison Ford could have died in Star Wars set incident, court hears Read moreA British firm owned by Disney has been fined £1.6m ($2m) on Wednesday for health and safety breaches after Harrison Ford was crushed by a hydraulic door on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2014. A court had formerly been told that Ford could have been killed in the incident while filming at Pinewood Studios in London. The actor sustained severe injuries from the accident, including a broken left leg, after he walked on to the set not believing it to be live. Ford needed surgery to screw together the fractured tibia and fibula bones in his left leg and plastic surgery on a “deep laceration” to his left hand. Walking back through the door, Ford believed the set was not live and the door would not close because it had not done so during previous rehearsals.
