Before Indiana Jones 5: Revisiting Harrison Ford’s Long History Of Being Injured On Set

The Fugitive – Torn ACL In Left Knee

The 1993 thriller The Fugitive not only features one of the best Harrison Ford characters in Richard Kimble, but it also saw one of the actor’s worst on-set injuries. Shortly before the film was released, the Orlando Sentinel newspaper published a report stating Ford injured his knee while running in one of the movie’s chase scenes through the woods and that he underwent surgery once the production wrapped up soon after. The injury, which left Ford out of commission for six weeks, resulted in his next production, Clear and Present Danger, being delayed until that October.

Harrison Ford addressed the injury during a 2006 interview with the Taipei Times in which he revealed he tore the ACL in his left leg while shooting a trailer for The Fugitive. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the first time Ford tore an ACL while filming a movie.
