Australian actor Joel Edgerton was left terrified on the set of new movie Exodus: Gods and Kings when he found himself stuck on a runaway chariot.
The star plays Egyptian pharoah Ramses opposite Christian Bale as Moses in Sir Ridley Scott's latest epic, and was required to shoot a scene while riding on a horse-drawn trailer.
However, disaster nearly struck when the reins broke and the steeds galloped along at breakneck speed, but shaken Edgerton was reassured by the director's calm reaction in a crisis.
