The plot shows the creation of the puzzle box, it shows how Phillip Smith was eventually hanged in the Gallows in the Tower of London before he could destroy the box after realizing the Lord Spencer used the skill of the toymaker for ultimate evil. The film revolves around Pinhead who confronts the Lord and also the toymaker Smith, Pinhead or his real name before he was a Agent of Hell, Elliot Spencer besides the fact he was not born until a century later, is mysteriously spat from Hell to 1718 London to use the box for his own purpose of pain....making Britain into a Hell of his own.

[edit] Trivia

 Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.
The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.
  • Pinhead appears in Inferno more than he did in the original Hellraiser, and his speech in the final Hell sequence is longer than any dialogue in the first two films combined.
  • The film is unique amongst Hellraiser films in terms of underplaying the traditionally high gore factor. Many scenes are pull away shots where the moment of violence is only suggested, not shown. In fact, the murder of the main character's mother is not shown at all, and merely suggested by horrible screams that gurgle as something awful is done (whose details are left to the viewer's imagination) and a huge amount of blood flowing under a locked door.
