Pierce Brosnan is due in court next year after allegedly entering an off-limits area of Yellowstone National Park, court documents show.

TODAY.com reached out to Brosnan's representatives for comment but did not immediately receive a reply.

Burns from thermal areas in Yellowstone National Park can cause serious injury and death. Foot travel in those areas must be confined to boardwalks or trails marked by official signs, according to the park’s website.

"Don’t approach or shortcut through geyser basins after dark when there is greater danger of stepping into a hot spring," the park website states.

Brosnan has been in the area filming the Western movie "Unholy Trinity," which co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, at Yellowstone Film Ranch, according to Deadline.
