 What is a "red line"

Talking about rev limits of the 1uz I want to know: What is a "red line".
I know from looking at various dyno outputs that power drops off after hitting its peak. Some drop off quicker than others.
I'm thinking a good definition would be:
Where the engine is past its ability to make power.
OR Is it more:
Safety level for engine as components and fuel system can not cope with revving more than this point.
Also I know that with forced induction you can make an engine rev more and increase the rev limit. Is this true?
In gone in 60 secconds when he's in the flood drain and hits the NOS, he stays in the same gear, is this just pushing that gear a little further as the engine has ran out of puff (dropped off the back of the power curve)?
