<p>Ed Harris has revealed how he suffered for his art when he fell ill during the filming of his new movie, The Way Back.</p>
<p>Real life imitated art as the cast, including Jim Sturgess, were hit by a bout of food poisoning in the Sahara desert as they battled to complete Peter Weir&#8217;s poignant drama about a group of prisoners&#8217; gruelling trek to India after they escape from a Siberian gulag during the Second World War.</p>
<p>The 60-year-old Hollywoood actor, who plays American inmate Mr Smith, said at the film&#8217;s UK premiere at London&#8217;s Washington Mayfair Hotel: &#8220;My worst day was when I was sick &#8211; Jim Sturgess and I are dragging this sled up the biggest sand dune of the whole film and I couldn&#8217;t even stand up, I was so weak.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;I hadn&#8217;t been keeping anything in and Peter was kind enough to let me go take a little break at some point that day for a couple of hours because I couldn&#8217;t stand up. We were dragging this thing up that hill and I was thinking, &#8216;Just say cut, man&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jim, 29, played the group&#8217;s unofficial leader Janusz and admitted: &#8220;We endured some pretty tough terrain and elements. There was never an easy day.</p>
<p>&#8220;But being stuck out in the middle of the Sahara desert with a bad stomach and needing the toilet every five minutes was one of the hardest things I&#8217;ve ever done in my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile for Colin Farrell, playing tough Russian inmate Valka, eating maggots wasn&#8217;t his most desirable meal. &#8220;It&#8217;s not something I&#8217;d be ordering at my nearest deli. But it was fun,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The Way Back, inspired by real events, opens in cinemas on Boxing Day.</p>
