- A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions, and hides them from the other one who—mysteriously—never truly becomes his rival. Neither is right—but is anyone?

- 但丁(Graham McTavish 配音)在35岁时,迷失于一个黑暗的森林。他竭力寻找走出迷津的道路,黎明时分来到一座洒满阳光的小山脚下。这是普照旅途的明灯。他正一步步朝山顶攀登,忽然三只猛兽(分别象征淫欲、强暴、贪婪的豹、狮、狼)迎面扑来。但丁高声呼救。这时,古罗马诗人维吉尔(Peter Jessop 配音)出现了,他受贝娅特丽丝(Vanessa Branch 配音)的嘱托前来帮助但丁走出迷途,并引导他游历地狱和炼狱。 地狱形似一个上宽下窄的漏斗,共9层。第一层是候判所,生于基督之前,未能接受洗礼的古代异教徒,在这里等候上帝的审判。在其余8层,罪人的灵魂按生前所犯的罪孽(贪色、饕餮、贪婪、愤怒、信奉邪教、强暴、欺诈、背叛),分别接受不同的严酷刑罚。 影片改编自但丁的作品《神曲》。本片中运用了50多张已出版的《但丁的地狱之旅》卡通书中的插画。
