In Speculative Fiction, there is always at least one area with a foreboding name that nobody goes to. Ever. Whether it's an impassable swamp, an asteroid field, a city rumored to be haunted, a monster-infested mountain passage or simply a place the elders have declared off limits, this is the place everybody knows you only go to when you're insane. The mundane examples may simply be a Wretched Hive brimming with thugs and cut-throats. At the most extreme cases it is an outright Eldritch Location. So, naturally, the heroes will inevitably wind up going there — whether by choice or circumstance. What good is having something that's mysteriously off limits if we can't go there and see why it's off limits? Chances are the dangers are completely exaggerated anyway, right? It will either turn out that the Forbidden Zone is indeed incredibly dangerous, or that there's no danger at all, and the heroes were supposed to keep out because it contains forbidden knowledge. Or both. In either case, the heroes will pass through more or less unscathed, and they may even figure out a way to make the zone less forbidden. Subtrope of Inevitably Broken Rule. Compare Forbidden Fruit, Schmuck Bait. The dangerous kind of Forbidden Zone overlaps with Death World. The Neutral Zone is a subtrope, in which the zone is forbidden because entry from either side risks starting a conflict with the inhabitants of the other side. Not to be confused with Forbidden Zone, an Oingo Boingo film. |

Planet of the Apes: Planet of the Apes (1968) prominently features an area which contains the important information that they were really on Earth the whole time. The area is actually called "The Forbidden Zone" and is also an inhospitable desert, so there's some practical reason beyond the withholding of scientific information. In the Tim Burton remake, the Forbidden Zone is the crash site of the spaceship that originally brought the apes and humans to that planet ages ago, as well as the proof that the humans were their original masters. |

Bas Lag has a lot of these, given it's a bizarre Death World full of surreal dangers. But the Cacatopic Stain sticks out. It's a place where even Bas Lag's somewhat malleable laws of physics are thrown out the window. It's the breeding ground of the Slake Moths that bring New Crobuzon to its knees in Perdido Street Station, and we see it in person during Iron Council. Suffice to say, the "torque" magic that makes the Stain what it is was deployed as a weapon in one of New Crobuzon's wars; its effect was so horrid that they immediately carpet bombed the location with a completely different kind of Fantastic Nuke to cover it up. | |

Over the course of the story missions, Destiny has you pass through the Exclusion Zone on Mars, occupied by the relentlessly militaristic Cabal who "exclude" all intruders into their territory with lots and lots of high explosives. The Moon also used to be a no-go zone by order of the Vanguard, following the Great Disaster in which they deployed a force of thousands of Guardians to retake it from the Hive and ended up on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle. |

Mutant UA has areas called forbidden zones ("förbjudna zoner" in the original Swedish), which are areas where the remnants of the apocalypse are particularly dangerous. It also has an unnamed zone in the middle of the primary empire of the setting, which fulfills every criteria except being called a forbidden zone, as the empire finds the idea of having one deep inside their borders embarrassing and takes every excuse to claim it isn't one, no matter how nonsensical (one of their standbys is citing its shape). | |

In The Turner Diaries, after The Organization conquers both North America and Europe, China launches an invasion of the USSR, conquering everything east of the Urals and attempting to invade European Russia. The Organization's response is to spend four years carpet bombing the entire Asian continent with every nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological weapon at their disposal, creating a 16 million square mile dead zone called the Great Eastern Waste. Over a century later and the only things left alive in the Waste are roving bands of mutants. | |

Decades ago, when the Carja Sundom was still expanding, they tried to expand to the west. Multiple expeditions failed, culminating in the Sun-King himself leading an expedition and never returning. The next Sun-King (his brother) declared the land past the mountains "the Forbidden West," where "none but the Sun may go." It doesn't appear to be illegal to go there, just largely considered suicidal. The sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, follows Aloy as she travels west. | |

While you can break a man by leaving him there for a day or two, no dictatorship takes advantage of this, because the trait that makes things memorable is a trait the Dead Zone doesn't have any more. | |

Most of Earth is this in Stand Still, Stay Silent. It's called Silent World, and is full of Rash Illness Victims: trolls, beasts and giants. With Everything Trying to Kill You it's considered a suicide to dwell further than few kilometers from the Known World, which means that in Year 90, nobody really knows what's there. That's what our heroes are hired to find out... | |

In Piecing Together the Ashes: Reconstructing the Old World Order, Cheyenne Mountain has become this. Following the Deluge, the remnants of the Beast's government and a civilian population took refuge in the NORAD complex there, which over the next several generations developed into a Cult Colony built on the backs of slave labor by the civilians. Eventually, they rebelled and escaped, sealing the complex behind them and becoming a tribe which inhabits the area and keeps trespassers away from the mountain, which they've come to believe is the resting place of an Eldritch Abomination called "the Norad" which helped the Beast destroy the world. | |

Goosebumps (1995): In the episode "Monster Blood", Evan's great aunt Kathryn tells him not to go in the room upstairs in her house. He goes into the room out of curiosity but gets caught by aunt Kathryn, telling him that it's forbidden to enter. Evan and his new friend Andy go into the forbidden room, while aunt Kathryn was out of the house, and find a can of Monster Blood. In "Shocker on Shock Street", Erin and her friend Marty are being guided around her father's animatronics workshop when she asks him about a particular room. He very expressly forbids them from ever entering that room. It's because he built Erin and Marty there and was trying to prevent them from realizing that they were robots. |

Bird Boy: The Forgotten Children: Going to the scrapyard is off-limits for the people living in the town, as many shady businesses are dealt in there and their inhabitants are known to be hostile to bypassers, willing to rob and/or kill them if they cross their zone. Even the police are scared to go in there, knowing how messed up things are there. For the people living in the scrapyard, Birdboy's abandoned lighthouse is off-limits. One rat kid tries to suggest to his older brother breaking inside the lighthouse to steal the copper inside the building, noticing its untouched state, but his older brother shuts down the idea quickly and warns him to never go there. |

Lost Mountain in ∀ Gundam mixes the "extreme danger" and "forbidden knowledge" variants. The "forbidden" has a very good reason behind it: it contains nuclear weapons. Due to the Militia not listening to the Moonrace engineer at the site, five of them go off, killing Gavane Gooney and destroying the surrounding area. | |

Codex Alera has two: The Wax Forest, which is completely overrun by croach until Tavi awakens its sleeping guardian and nearly destroys the world, although the Marat use it for trials and recover a potent medicinal mushroom from it, generally at a rate of one person retrieving it a year. The Feverthorn Jungle is a much more mysterious forbidden zone. All that's really known is that it used to be the stronghold of the first sentient species obliterated by Alerans, and also it kills people. Whatever is in there apparently kills Vord too, since despite being ideal for growing croach it's never overrun. |

In C. S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, the planet Earth qualifies as a Forbidden Zone to the rest of the Solar System, being known as Thulcandra, The Silent Planet. In the second book, Perelandra (Venus) is in its "Adam and Eve" phase. The planet is an ocean dotted with floating islands, while their version of the Forbidden Fruit is "the Fixed Lands," where they're not allowed to go. |

By the time of the Third Tiberium War in Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars in 2047, the Earth is divided into zones that are classified as Blue, Yellow, or Red depending on how bad the area's ecology has been changed by tiberium. The Red Zones are the worst, utterly incapable of supporting human habitation without protection. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Serpent's Pass is a quick route to Ba Sing Se, the only land passage across the large inland sea that separates the sections of the Earth Kingdom, and for those without tickets or passports for the hidden ferry it is the only way to reach the safety of Ba Sing Se. Considering the entrance signpost actually says "Abandon Hope," and only the most desperate of travelers dare to take this deadly route, maybe you should think twice before crossing this isthmus. Hint: there's a giant mother-flipping serpent swimming around. The destroyed Fire Nation warship near the Southern Water Tribe village in the first episode straddles the line between Forbidden Zone and Call Reception Area. It was probably forbidden because it had been rent through with ice and was unstable, not because the elders knew of any boobytraps, but the flare Aang and Katara set off summons Zuko to provide a reason to get out of dodge. |

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has Area 69, a military and research compound that instantly gives you a 5 star warrant level if you approach it and you'll be shot down by missiles or the military's fighter jets if you approach the area by air. There's one mission where you do get the chance to sneak into the facility and see why the area is so heavily guarded; using alien technology, the military created a jet pack that allows the wearer to fly. You get to keep it as well once you complete the mission. There is also a naval base located at Easter Basin in San Fierro, which gives you a similar wanted level if you approach the area. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Both Caradhras and Moria turn out to be this. The Fellowship attempts to cross the Pass of Caradhras but is forced to turn back and go through Moria instead, when it turns out that there is something evil in the mountain itself that causes snow-storms and almost claims them. Moria starts out as a more dubious, disputed territory between Dwarves and Orcs, with Gimli insisting that his Dwarf relatives managed to reclaim their ancestral home over there, but other members like Gandalf and Aragorn remain wary of the place and the claim. And they turn out to be rightfully so. Other Forbidden Zones include the Old Forest, the Barrow-downs, Fangorn, the Dead Marshes and the pass of Cirith Ungol. |

The Wheel of Time features two Forbidden Zones, the Blight and Shadar Logoth, each saturated with evil. Both are entered in the first book, and the latter is revisited repeatedly. Neither is a pleasant place to be. It's a safe bet that anything in the Blight that lives (though "lives" is stretched in some cases) is a deadly threat, and Shadar Logoth is home to the physical manifestation of hate itself. Also, the Ways. You do not want to run into Machin Shin. | |

In Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden, the example from ∀ Gundam plays a role when the members of the Londo Bell, accidentally hurled into the future, happen upon it. Unlike the poor unwitting fools in the source material, Londo Bell knows exactly what they're dealing with then they discover the hazard warnings, and immediately call a withdrawal. This saves Gavane Gooney's life. Unfortunately, the villains uncover something in the Zone... the GP02A. Learning this, Londo Bell drop everything to track down and destroy it.

In the Star Trek: The Original Series two-parter "The Menagerie", even landing on Talos IV is the only death sentence left on the books. It's due to the mind-controlling aliens.

In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire there was an ancient empire known as the Valyrian Freehold based off the country of Valyria. Once the most powerful empire in the world thanks to their mastery of magic and dragons, something happened one day that destroyed the country, known offhandedly as the Doom of Valyria. Now sailors and explorers fear to even come close to the country's waters as they are storm-wrecked, choking with dangers and the land itself is an inhospitable waste reduced by volcanic eruptions, leading to the proverb that the Doom still rules Valyria. Events in Fire & Blood suggest there's something alive there. Something alive, unfriendly, and capable of hurting dragons. Which is why King Jaehaerys forbid anyone from setting foot there. | |

The Calm Belts of One Piece sound like a pleasant place, but they're actually one of the deadliest places in a world of sailing ships. There is absolutely no wind or sea currents in the Belts, meaning any ship that enters the area is permanently becalmed and must rely on oars to escape. This alone wouldn't be so bad, but the Belts are also the nesting grounds of the Sea Kings, which are far more numerous and larger in these waters. The Calm Belts border either side of the Great Line which is why it can only safely be entered at Reverse Mountain. | |

The one character who is from beyond the Solar System doesn't exactly disprove his claim that it's dangerous, though it does mean there's more to it than just an empty void. | |

Futurama: "My Three Suns": Parodied with the planet Trisol, in the Forbidden Zone of the Galaxy of Terror, which actually turns out to be perfectly nice (provided you're not the emperor). It really is just a name. "A Bicyclops Built for Two": The Forbidden Valley (right next to the Permitted and Required Valleys). As it turns out, however, the Forbidden Valley actually separates and stops Alcazar's brides from seeing the other four identical castles, where the other brides live. "Where No Fan Has Gone Before": The Forbidden World of Omega-3, dumping ground of all records of Star Trek: The Original Series (and the first six movies). Trying to approach it causes the Planet Express ship to crash. However, the greatest danger lies on the planet: One really annoying Star Trek fan. |

By the Waters of Babylon: No one is allowed to go into "The Place of the Gods" (formerly New York City). It's for fear of poison initially (left behind by the war that destroyed the city), from what John says, but by the time he visits there its harmless (aside from wild dogs). | |

In Astral Chain, Zone 09 is forbidden to enter for all other citizens of the Ark, and especially for UNION (the Ark police). It's a district that was abandoned by the government due to a redshift incident gone horribly wrong a few decades ago, with the police's solution being to quarantine the whole place indefinitely, leaving it to its own devices and becoming this game's equivalent of the Kowloon Walled City. In one chapter, you sneak into it to learn more about a Fantastic Drug being distributed there, and when you're caught at the end of the chapter, you're subsequently arrested for entering Zone 09 as well as using your Legion without authorization from higher command. The only reason this doesn't get you fired or worse (while your coworker who led the mission does) is because your assistance is urgently needed in the following chapter due to an extremely dangerous enemy. | |

Warhammer 40,000 has the Eye Of Terror, a Negative Space Wedgie caused by a large chunk of the galaxy permanently overlapping with the setting's equivalent of hell. Not recommended as a holiday destination. Now made even worse as it has expanded into a ginormous rift that stretches across the galaxy, affecting a great many planets. The area of space between the Tau Empire and the Farsight Enclaves is actually known to the Tau as the Forbidden Zone. Ever since commander Farsight broke off from the Tau Empire, travel to the area has been forbidden by the Ethereals, while the Enclaves have fortified their side with automated defence stations that shoot down non-friendly ships and probes. Quarantine worlds are individual planets that have been declared off-limits by the Imperium due to some dire threat that outweighs any advantage from settling there, such as virulent biological agents or warp corruption. They're often enforced by interdiction fleets and orbital defence platforms, on standing orders to obliterate anything travelling to (or from) the planet without proper authorization. |

Shadowrun has the Saar-Lorraine-Luxembourg Special Administrative Zone (SOX), a massive exclusion zone created after the meltdown of the Cattenom Reactor, which includes territory from France, Germany and the whole former nation of Luxembourg, all enclosed behind a massive and heavily fortified concrete wall. In practice, the SOX is administered by a compact of MegaCorps who run secret laboratories within what is effectively the largest extraterritorial enclave in the world. As a result, thousands of corporate citizens live and work within the zone in acrologies, and they even host their own take on the Desert Wars called the Rad Wars. It's still mostly forbidden on account of the radiation, waste disposal sites, mutated critters, gangs of radpunks and the horrific effects all this has had on the astral plane. | |

The protagonist, the captain of an aero-submarine, breaks this law and is stranded there by his crew, setting off the plot. | |

Blake's 7: In "Breakdown", the Liberator has to make a short-cut through a prohibited space zone which turns out to contain a Swirly Energy Thingy destroying any ship that enters it. Referred to by this exact name in episode "Pressure Point". Protected by automated defenses, the Forbidden Zone defends the Federation Master Computer called Central Control. The crew get through by using their energy weapons as wire cutters and running very fast, only to discover that Control was moved years ago, and the Zone is only maintained as Schmuck Bait for the enemies of the Federation. |

Between an army of Ultrons, an army of super powered zombies, the Annihilation Wave, and Thanos, no one wants to be there as its certain death. God-Emperor Doctor Doom sends people there as punishment for breaking major laws. Or just annoying him. Partway through the story, Earth!616 Thanos takes over the area on his own. | |

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has Area Zero, a Lost World within the Great Crater of Paldea (which formed one million years in the past). Very little is known about it other than that it is exceedingly dangerous, and in fact so little is known about it because it's so dangerous. An ancient empire bankrupted itself funding expeditions into Area Zero over centuries, with it being said none of the explorers ever succeeded in reaching its depths. As a result, in the present day the place is off-limits (and naturally you have to go there in the final stages of the game). | |

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Nora have a lot of these. Leaving the Sacred Lands at all is forbidden, as is exploring the ancient ruins of the Metal World. Seekers are the exception, blessed by the High Matriarchs to protect them against cursed lands. This all causes problems with outsiders, since the Nora consider them cursed by definition—and the fact that their closest neighbors spent the past twenty years raiding them for blood sacrifices doesn't help. When the Nora Braves discover that the group of murderers they've been tracking are squatting in a ruin, Aloy convinces them to attack anyway. The war-chief grudgingly allows it, saying that Aloy's Seeker blessing will hopefully protect them. Decades ago, when the Carja Sundom was still expanding, they tried to expand to the west. Multiple expeditions failed, culminating in the Sun-King himself leading an expedition and never returning. The next Sun-King (his brother) declared the land past the mountains "the Forbidden West," where "none but the Sun may go." It doesn't appear to be illegal to go there, just largely considered suicidal. The sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, follows Aloy as she travels west. |

The Toxic Jungle/Sea of Corruption from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, an utterly massive Hungry Jungle filled with miasma and toxins that render it uninhabitable to humans (and any other living things from outside the jungle), who only ever visit it temporarily with hazmat equipment. The scary part is that, the place actually isn't toxic; its meant to be a huge, natural cleanup facility that filters out pollutants and creates a pure, healthy environment. Problem is, most life on the planet has evolved by now to live with the pollution, and the absence of it is now poisonous to them. | |
