Usually Ryan Reynolds provides the thrills and spills and edge-of-seat action in his Hollywood blockbusters, but he experienced an epic of his own during an extraordinary afternoon for Wrexham.
I lost nine years off my life. I am okay with that. I apologize to my family. Also, bury me in Wales, Reynolds said after the Welsh side he co-owns with another actor produced an incredible win.
I love this game. I don't like this game. I like this game.
Even Hollywood would struggle to write that script according to the account.
Most would have predicted a straightforward afternoon for the Reds, who were chasing promotion back to the EFL and were on a seven game winning streak.
They were demoted after starting the season with a points deduction and only winning one game all season.
Paul Mullin and James Jones gave the Dragons a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes in front of a full house.
The home supporters applauded when George Wilkinson hit back with his volley.
The home supporters began to lose their minds when Payne tied the game.
Michael Gyasi, on loan from Kings Lynn, caused problems all afternoon for the defence.
The game was turned on its head by a devastating 14 minute hat-trick. With less than half an hour remaining, Wrexham was behind 5-2.
As the 90 minute mark approached, it seemed that the hopes of catching leaders Stockport would suffer a huge blow.
Nine minutes of it was given to Wrexham in the last moments of the game.
Jordan Davies struck a free-kick in the opening minute of time added on before applying the final touch for a dramatic late winner.
Davies said after the game that it was some feeling.
It is hard to describe, I just remember getting jumped on.
Phil Parkinson had never been involved in a game like that.
Parkinson said that it was almost like he had to do a double take in the dressing room.
Did that really happen? We just won a game after being down by five. It was a strange day.
If you asked 10 of the best pundits on National League football what they thought the score would be, no one would come up with that.
Parkinson said that his players had shown character to come back and win the game.
He said that you can't hide from what the supporters have seen.
We have to embrace that and enjoy the character and quality the guys showed to get back into the game and win it.
We have good players, a good team, the squad is good, and I think we are in a decent place.
The late win saw them move up to second in the National League, but they are 11 points behind leaders Stockport County with a game in hand.
