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 ἑρμηνεύσει τὰ σημεῖα τῶν καιρῶν, βλέπει τὴν Τελικὴ Κρίση νὰ πλησιάζει. Ἐγκαθιδρύει ἀπόλυτη ἐξουσία, ἐξολοθρεύοντας 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 τοῦ Ἰβάν, τολμᾶ νὰ ἀντιταχθεῖ στὴν μυστικιστικὴ τυραννία τοῦ ἡγεμόνα. Ἀκολουθεῖ σύγκρουση μεταξὺ δύο ἐντελῶς ἀντίθετων ἀπόψεων γιὰ τὸν κόσμο, διαλύοντας ἠθικὴ καὶ δικαιοσύνη, Θεὸ καὶ ἀνθρώπους. Μιὰ ταινία ὑψηλοῦ ἐπιπέδου μὲ ἐξαιρετικὲς ἑρμηνεῖες ἀπὸ τοὺς Μαμόνωφ καὶ Γιανκόφσκη. Ἀλληγορία τῆς σταλινικῆς Ῥωσίας.
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.
