Harrison Ford is said to have saved his own life with a "textbook emergency landing" following his plane's engine failure yesterday.
Harrison Ford's plane on Penmar Golf Course
Suffering "multiple gashes" to his head when his two-seater vintage World War II was grounded on Penmar Gold Course in Venice, Los Angeles, his quick reactions saw him cheat death.
Flying solo in the plane, Harrison now remains in an LA hospital but is expected to swiftly make a "full recovery".
He made an emergency radio call during the flight for "immediate return" because his engine "failed", and whilst he was cleared for landing he didn't quite make the runway.
A Good Morning Britain report says the actor was "alert and conscious" when emergency services arrived.
Film producer Ryan Kavanagh witnessed Harrison's landing and believes he "did the impossible" by landing on the course, insisting it would have been much worse if he'd tried to make the runway.
Ryan explained: "He literally had five seconds, and 99 per cent of pilots would have turned around to go back to the runway and would have crashed - it would have stalled, gone nose first and crashed.
"He would have minimal damages if the trees were not [on the golf course].
"He made the correct turn that the plane was designed for with an engine out. Harrison did what the best pilots in the world would do."
Several stars have since sent their best wishes to the star, including Mark Hamill and William Shatner.
Speaking for Harrison, a spokesperson said: "Harrison was flying a WW2 vintage plane today which stalled upon take off. He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely.
"He was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care. The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery."
His son Ben also took to Twitter to give an update, saying:
This isn't Harrison's first bit of drama as a pilot, as in 1999 he crashed during a training flight north of Los Angeles in Santa Clarita, and in 2000 he had to crash land his six-passenger plane in Nebraska after big winds pushed the aircraft off the runway.
