Στὴν Ρωσία τοῦ 16ου αἰῶνος, μὲ τὴν χώρα στὸ χεῖλος τοῦ χάους, ὁ Ἰβὰν ὁ Τρομερὸς πιστεύει ἀκράδαντα ὅτι εἶναι ἐπιφορτισμένος μὲ ἱερὴ ἀποστολή. Πιστεύοντας ὅτι μπορεῖ νὰ κατανοήσει καὶ νὰ ἑρμηνεύσειν τὰ σημεῖα τῶν καιρῶν, βλέπει τὴν Τελικὴ Κρίση νὰ πλησιάζει. Ἐγκαθιδρύει ἀπόλυτη ἐξουσία, ἐξολοθρρεύοντας ἀδυσώπητα ὅποιον βρεθεῖ στὸ δρόμο του. Κατὰ τὴ διάρκεια αὐτῆς τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ τρόμου, ὁ Φίλιππος, Καθηγούμενος τῆς Μονῆς στὴ νῆσο Σολοβέτσκη, μέγας λόγιος καὶ στενὸς φίλος του Ἰβάν, τολμᾶ νὰ ἀντιταχθεῖ στὴν μυστικιστικὴ τυραννία τοῦ ἡγεμόνα. Ἀκολουθεῖ σύγκρουση ἀνάμεσά σε δύο ἐντελῶς ἀντίθετες ἀπόψεις γιὰ τὸν κόσμο, σπάζοντας τὴν ἠθικὴ καὶ τὴ δικαιοσύνη, τὸ Θεὸ καὶ τοὺς δύο ἄνδρες. Μιὰ ταινία ὑψηλοῦ ἐπιπέδου μὲ ἐξαιρετικὲς ἑρμηνεῖες ἀπὸ τοὺς Μαμόνωφ καὶ Γιανκόφσκη. Ἀλληγορία τῆς σταλινικῆς Ρωσίας.
In 16th-century Russia in the grip of chaos, Ivan the Terrible strongly believes he is vested with a holy mission. Believing he can understand and interpret the signs, he sees the Last Judgment approaching. He establishes absolute power, cruelly destroying anyone who gets in his way. During this reign of terror, Philip, the superior of the monastery on the Solovetsky Islands, a great scholar and Ivan's close friend, dares to oppose the sovereign's mystical tyranny. What follows is a clash between two completely opposite visions of the world, smashing morality and justice, God and men. A grand-scale film with excellent leading roles by Mamonov and Yankovsky. An allegory of Stalinist Russia.
