* ''Film/TheMasterGunfighter''. The BigBad has the villagers build a [[SalvagePirates fake beacon fire]], then has them shut up in the church, planning to kill them to LeaveNoWitnesses. The protagonists can't convince them to leave the church and flee, so they set fire to it to force them to do so, which has the added benefit of creating a beacon fire in the right place.

** Also in the ''Series/{{Zorro1957}}'', Don Nacho had to hide in the mission to avoid being arrested by the Comandante. [[GoodShepherd Padre Felipe]] very vigorously reminded Montasario (with a threat of beaning him with a flower pot) that trying to storm the Mission will violate both church and Spanish law. Then the Comandante decided to forcibly conscript the natives working for the Mission for brutal manual labor as punishment, forcing Zorro to figure out how to escort the guilt stricken Nacho out without being caught.

* In the ''[[ComicBook/ShamansTears Bar Sinister]]'' miniseries, Bar Sinister--a group of genetically engineered, super powered human/animal hybrids--are fleeing from the NYPD and take refuge inside a burnt-out cathedral and claim sanctuary. This results in a drawn-out siege situation as various law enforcement agencies [[JurisdictionFriction argue about jurisdiction]], and considerable media attention as it is debbated if their claim to sanctuary should be honoured. Lieutenant Westin, the police officer in charge, even mentions Creator/VictorHugo and compares the situation to ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''.

* Subverted in ComicBook/TheFabulousFurryFreakBrothers "A Mexican Oddysey" storyline. Fat Freddy, on the run from the police, spies a Catholic church and runs for it, saying to himself that it has been a tradition for centuries for the Catholic church to provide sanctuary for the hapless fugitive. He runs in the church, asks the priest for sanctuary...and the priest ''immediately'' runs outside and yells for the cops.
