Cary Elwes got way more than he bargained for when a day of yardwork turned into a helicopter ride to the hospital after a nasty rattlesnake bite.

Sources connected to Cary tell TMZ ... the 'Princess Bride' star was airlifted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Saturday after he was bitten by a rattlesnake near his Malibu home. We're told he was working outside when the accident happened -- it's unclear where he was bitten.



In any case ... our sources say it was serious enough that Cary required immediate medical attention, as we're told people around him felt it was a life-threatening injury.

The good news ... Cary is going to make a full recovery and got the help he needed in time.

Hemotoxins do some nasty stuff to the body.

It normally takes a frick load of antivenom and IVs for that and normal on something like fingers, hand, or toes, it is very tough to keep what was bitten because the part gets messed up by the venom

The location of that bite infers this was your own fault and not only the snake but the medical staff were the victims. I apologize in advance if this is not the case but snakes rarely bite if you leave them alone.

He married a princess, and he still has to do yard work?

Should've spent years taking small doses of venom to become immune to it.
