As he makes his way through a dangerous neighborhood, Alighieri meets the poet Virgil (James Cromwell), who offers to lead him home. Instead, Virgil treats Alighieri to a chilling tour of the Underworld, where he witnesses sins of all kinds and passes through the gaping mouth of hell -- which bears a surprising resemblance to the concrete jungle he already knows so well.
