No Escape, 1994

A futuristic thriller set in a penal colony where Lance plays a guru-like figure, "The Father". It involved a 3 month shoot in remote Australian locations.

"It turned out to be a tremendous amount of work. When I finished I really felt like I was getting out of prison."

"The Father believes that just because society has given up on these men doesn't mean they have to give up on themselves. He tries to instill the idea that everyone can achieve redemption through self-forgiveness. "

""No Escape" is a story of renewal and redemption, a testament to the idea that even in the worst of environments, there will be men who seek a sense of belonging and association with each other. They are compelled to rebuild a society better and more just that the one which has abandoned them, but they never give up their dreams of freedom and justice in the world they left behind. "

Producer Gale Anne Hurd, who has worked on three projects with Henriksen, THE TERMINATOR, ALIENS, and most recently NO ESCAPE, commented, "Lance is the real thing, an actor's actor. His attention to detail and his commitment to breathing life into each character, puts him in the first rank of dramatic actors today."
