* The climax of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' is essentially this, a massive battle between TheArmiesOfHeaven vs TheLegionsOfHell. The twist is that ''Heaven'' is the invading force, planning to wipe out all the sinners in Hell, starting with the titular hotel and everyone in it.

* ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'' has a fantasy variation of this wherein Agrona (the resident MaouTheDemonKing and SatanicArchetype) and the Vritra Clan seek to conquer Epheotus (the realm of the Asuras from which they were [[FallenAngel exiled from]] generations ago) with their army of Vritra-blooded mutants amassed from the populations of both Dicathen and Alacrya. It is worth noting however, Alacrya (the land the Vritra were exiled to and have since become the SupernaturalElite of) is not the equivalent of Hell and is just another continent [[spoiler:with its inhabitants being as much victims of the DivineConflict as the Dicathians are given how GodAndSatanAreBothJerks is in full effect with the Asuras of Epheotus being just as bad as the Vritra themselves. Amusingly, it is brought up among Arthur and his allies that letting Agrona invade Epheotus would be the only way to end the conflict [[BatmanGambit by having both sides]] [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork obliterate each other through]] MutuallyAssuredDestruction, as [[ThoseWereOnlyTheirScouts prior experiences]] have shown a direct war against the Asuras would be a complete slaughter]].

* In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', this seems to be Lucifer's PR to his demon mooks after they release him and start the Apocalypse. Meg cheerily taunts a captured Castiel that they're going to win against the angels and invade Heaven itself. In reality, Lucifer wants the demons to have no part in his plans and considers them worthy of annihilation.

* Referenced in ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', insofar as with the sudden removal of ''God'' from the picture, Metatron explains that one of the obvious guesses is out of the picture because if this ''were'' the work of Satan, he'd "have made his move to conquer Heaven by now" and instead they're as surprised as everyone.

* The Sphere is an enormous alien vessel in ''VideoGame/Prey2006'', not quite Hell (although a lot of humans have been abducted, tortured and mutilated there). But it's still a late-game surprise when the Sphere's Keeper sends an invasion force ''into the Cherokee spirit world'' and Tommy and his Grandfather's ghost must repel them.

* This is the final act in the first campaign of ''VideoGame/DiabloIII''. [[spoiler:Diablo, having become the Prime Evil -- the embodiment of all Seven Great Evils in one being -- and the sole ruler of the Burning Hells]], leads a massive demonic invasion of the High Heavens. The angels are unprepared for an attack of this magnitude and are quickly overrun, some of them being outright corrupted. The player helps drive them back and defeats [[spoiler:Diablo at the very top of the Crystal Spire]]. [[AllThereInTheManual Supplemental materials]] explain that similar attacks have occurred in the past but never made it past the Diamond Gates, usually due to [[WeAREStrugglingTogether demonic in-fighting]] weakening their forces.

* ''Literature/TheGreatDivorce'': Played with in a very strange way: the only things that ever come out of hell into heaven are ghosts, and ghosts are too unreal to do any damage. However, some of those ghosts, in one way or another, have the motivation (but never the ability) to bring Hell into Heaven in one way or another, ranging from explaining Hell to the Persons in Heaven, to trying to convince the Persons in Heaven to transform Heaven to look more like Hell, to simply [[RageAgainstTheHeavens screaming in hatred]] at anyone in Heaven.* John Milton's ''Literature/ParadiseLost'' is the trope codifier/forerunner by depicting Satan's rebellion against God.

* ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'' has demons invading Urdak as [[spoiler:the Khan Maykr seeks to awaken and bind the Icon of Sin to destroy Earth, only for the Slayer to disrupt the ritual that would have given her control over it]]. Though the Slayer takes out his share of the demons in the midst of opening a portal to get back to Earth to [[spoiler:stop the Icon of Sin]], when the [[spoiler:Khan Maykr]] is finally defeated, the demons waste no time in overrunning the place, as [[spoiler:the deal with Hell that brought about the making of Argent Energy has been rendered null and void]]. But since the Maykrs and especially the Khan Maykr have been revealed to be little better than the demons themselves, the Slayer could not care less about this outcome.
