The heroes have won! The villain of the story is finally killed and gets plummeted headfirst into Hell. Except... one can't help but feel a bit sorry for them. Maybe they were Affably Evil and sympathetic in the eyes of the audience or even the characters. Maybe they were Driven to Villainy, having never known real kindness in their life. Or maybe their death was a Heel–Face Door-Slam and they could have eventually turned good. Whatever the case, the villain doesn't seem to deserve to rot in a fire pit for ever and ever. Well, fear not! As it turns out, their soul still has a chance. Usually it's somebody on Earth and/or in Heaven who helps with the rescue of the damned character via prayers and/or good deeds, but occasionally, if the soul in Hell isn't completely incapacitated, they can work to save themselves. Sister trope to Rescued from the Underworld and Escaped from Hell, which are about the dead coming back to the world of the living. These tropes can overlap with this one, if, for instance, the damned person is brought back to life and advised to reform to achieve Heaven. Rerouted from Heaven can precede this trope, but it's not a rule: while Rerouted from Heaven deals exclusively with heroic characters who have no reason to land in Hell in the first place, this trope encompasses characters who are in Hell for a reason as they have done things to deserve punishment. As this trope undoes the Moral Event Horizon (or declares it to not have existed in the first place), it's way more often implied or downplayed than fully shown onscreen, especially in works that usually state there is such a horizon. It's not talked about openly in works that have both tropes - curiously enough less to avoid the endless philosophical quagmire that effectively nixing a once established moral event horizon would open up: but rather as the tropes contradict one another this one is glossed over much as someone grown-up who'd lost control of their bodily functions needing help with the cleanup wouldn't be talked about, and Moral Event Horizon is left in full force generally while still playing this trope for once. Put another way: if you want to stay in the relativistic physics' picture of the (moral) event horizon, this trope would be the equivalent of quantum physics' wave-mechanical tunneling - and the two tropes are just as difficult to reconcile as their physics model counterparts. Compare Purgatory and Limbo, Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, Circles of Hell (if the rescue is done gradually, the soul can move through different circles), To Hell and Back (can be played straight for the person doing the rescue). Contrast Defector from Paradise, Hell Seeker, Only One Afterlife. As it is a Death Trope and often an Ending Trope, expect unmarked spoilers. |

In All Dogs Go to Heaven, it was constantly said that due to Charlie Barkin winding his life watch back up, he "could never come back" to Heaven, and as such, had to keep the watch safe at all times. During the climax, Charlie is forced to choose between saving Ann Marie or keeping his watching from falling into the water. He chooses to get Marie to safety before going back for his watch, but failed to reach it before it filled with water and its gears stopped working. As a result, his soul is condemned, and returns to Marie's house to say good bye one last time before his eternal torment. However, the devil dog is then shooed away by the whippet angel, who tells Charlie that his Heroic Sacrifice to save Marie has redeemed himself and he's allowed back into Heaven. | |

Lucifer: Corrupt Cop Malcolm Graham is dead for thirty seconds before being rescued from Hell by Amenadiel. In return, Malcolm is to kill Lucifer, forcing him to return to Hell. This is a big mistake, because Malcolm is increasingly unstable from his memories of Hell and becomes the Big Bad of Season 1. He's killed in the season finale and returns to Hell, and the whole plot causes Amenadiel to fall in Season 2. When Amoral Attorney Charlotte Richards is murdered, her body is possessed by the Goddess of All Creation, Lucifer's mother and the Big Bad of Season 2. When the Goddess leaves her body, Charlotte returns and suffers Sanity Slippage until she realises the "nightmares" she's plagued by are in fact her memories of Hell. Terrified of going back, she becomes The Atoner in the hopes of getting into Heaven. She dies at the end of Season 3 after Taking the Bullet for Amenadiel, who regains his wings to fly her soul to Heaven. |

In A Better Man, Vernon Dursley is killed by a Death Eater and ends up in Hell. However, as Harry Potter says he wishes his uncle had been a better man, Vernon's soul is sent back in time for a second chance. The story ends with Vernon, a much better man than in the original timeline, getting killed by a Death Eater and going to Heaven. | |

Supernatural: The angel Castiel pulls Dean out of hell in the Season 4 premiere, where he ended up after selling his soul to a demon. That episode introduced angels as a uniquely powerful Outside-Context Problem, but, as the series went on, travel to and from the afterlife became a more common occurrence. | |

A major plot point in Hazbin Hotel. Charlie, the Princess of Hell, is sick and tired of seeing countless damned souls being culled by Heaven in yearly purges due to overpopulation, so she decides to solve the problem by having sinners try and redeem themselves in a rehab program of her own design. | |

In And the Giant Awoke, wicked souls go to Ironic Hell (Littlefinger is tortured by his victims, Cersei becomes a warrior who fights and gets killed over and over again, Robert, who used and abandoned his lovers, becomes a constantly pregnant woman). However, these punishments are meant to make the people see the error of their ways. If they do, they get a chance to go to a better place. | |

In What Dreams May Come, the deceased protagonist Chris learns his wife Annie is in Hell after committing suicide; it's explained that she didn't go to Hell because what she did was 'sinful', but because those who die in a state of extreme suffering and despair tend to unintentionally create horrible afterlives for themselves. Chris sets out to rescue her from Hell even though he's told it probably won't work. Annie appears too far gone to be able to leave Hell, but when Chris says he will stay with her forever regardless, her desire to save him allows them to both return to Heaven. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a variation: Kodlak dreams of going to the Warrior Heaven of Sovngarde, but fears that, as a werewolf, his soul has been earmarked as the property of Hircine, the God of Hunting. Kodlak is killed when his home is attacked by werewolf hunters, but the Player Character finds a way to posthumously break the werewolf curse on his soul, allowing him to flee Hircine's realm. | |

The Narrator watches one of the Ghosts, a lustful man, turn to God and go into the Deep Heaven, and he is told that Emperor Trajan likewise chose to stay. | |

Pinstripe: The game's developer has described it as "an emotionally charged adventure through Hell", and the ending reveals that that descriptor is entirely literal. The main character Ted killed himself and his young daughter in a drunk driving accident, and all the other characters represent his inner demons and vices. The game ends when Ted rescues his daughter from Pinstripe (himself a manifestation of guilt) and forgives himself, and the two wake up in Heaven, reuniting with her mother. | |

During a scuffle with the Robot Devil's winged minions, Bender steals a pair of wings and uses them to save his friends instead, also catching an energy ring fired at him that spins around his head like a halo as they ascend, implying that he redeemed himself by rescuing them. | |

Downplayed in The Fairy Sapphire. It's not a full deliverance, but Lady Marguerite's wicked mother had just enough goodness in her to have a Heel Realization when she saw her saintly daughter ascend towards the heavenly ancestors' abode. It saved her from being damned to eternally fall into an abyss, and she was able to climb to the abode herself. She still looks ugly and sickly and is forced to drink bitter water as punishment for being an Abusive Parents case, but at least she now lives in a lovely vale with beautiful houses with her daughter by her side. | |

In The Sandman (1989), the "Seasons of Mist" arc sees Dream travelling to Hell in order to free Nuada, whom he banished there thousands of years earlier when she spurned his advances. Unfortunately, he happens to arrive at a time when Lucifer has grown tired of ruling Hell, and thus before he can free Nuada, he suddenly finds himself forced to arrange the handover of Hell to a new ruler. In the end, Nuada is finally freed, and he arranges for her to be reborn in a new life. | |

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys: Iolaus is tricked into allowing the God of Evil Dahak into his body, which leaves Iolaus trapped in hell, until Hercules rescues him and he goes to heaven. Downplayed with Iolaus's father who wasn't evil, just an Old Soldier who never talked about anything except the battles he fought. This was apparently a common phenomenon. Hades kept such people outside the gates of paradise trading war stories with each other so that they wouldn't spend eternity boring everyone else in paradise. After spending a little time talking to his son, he admits he hates talking about old battles and is allowed into paradise. |

Constantine (2005) has the title character enter into negotiations with the Devil towards the end of the film, in order to, among other things, get the soul of a woman condemned to hell for the sin of suicide permitted to enter heaven. This act of self-sacrifice ends up saving his own soul (he was on heaven's chopping block for a suicide attempt in his youth, and he committed another one to engage in said deal). Unfortunately, Satan, being a sore loser, brings him back to life and cures his lung cancer so that he'll have another chance to mess up. | |
