'Finding Neverland'
A stunt driver lost control of the 1933 Ford after hitting a patch of ice while filming Michael Mann's Public Enemies.
Depp jumped into the vehicle's path when he spotted it skidding towards the extras, who were standing with their backs turned.
A witness told the News of the World: "Johnny slammed into the group with arms outspread, shoving them all back."
Depp plays bank robber John Dillinger in the film, which also stars Christian Bale and Billy Crudup.
The 44-year-old recently promised to help a 17-year-old girl who had been in a coma for five months.
