Synopsis

A gateway to Hell is opened, but cannot be closed when the key falls through the gateway. The military tries to send a team through the gateway to retrieve the key, but they die trying to pass through the gateway because only people destined for Hell can pass through the gateway. This leaves the military with the only option of sending a group of hardened criminals through the gateway to retrieve the key.
