This is the second part of a projected three-part epic biopic of Russian Czar Ivan Grozny, undertaken by Soviet film-maker Sergei Eisenstein at the behest of Josef Stalin. Production of the epic was stopped before the third part could be filmed, due to producer dissatisfaction with Eisenstein's introducing forbidden experimental filming techniques into the material, more evident in this part than the first part. As it was, this second part was banned from showings until after the deaths of both Eisenstein and Stalin, and a change of attitude by the subsequent heads of the Soviet government. In this part, as Ivan the Terrible attempts to consolidate his power by establishing a personal army, his political rivals, the Russian boyars, plot to assassinate him.

2004 film by Oliver Stone

咸丰帝当政的年代，1850—1861年，正是中国历史的重要转折年代。 太平天国兴起，捻军、天地会的反叛遍及南北，湘军由此而起，厘金随之而生；英国与法国组织联军，再次入侵中国，俄国趁火打劫，美国充当帮凶，新的条约一一签订；中国后来的许多变局，实肇始于斯。历史关键时刻的关键人物咸丰帝，竭尽心思，却无力回天，自叹且自弃。 本书展开了那段历史岁月，引领读者阅读其中的种种情事，曲折幽深。作者描写了历史群像：杜受田、曾国藩、叶名琛、肃顺、恭亲王、那拉氏(慈禧)，决定国运的重要人物，栩栩如生。 一部传记，一段历史，一种人生与家国的思绪。
古代每位皇帝并非真有做皇帝的资质才能。有些人甚至十分平庸普通，却因生在皇宫，被其父立为储君。皇帝虽和常人一样都是肉体凡胎，但是天子，在凡人面前，他是一尊至高无上的神，举手投足都需要有个不同凡响的样子。和平年代中，这样的皇帝还能安安稳稳在紫禁城呆上一辈子，而多事之秋，则到处尴尬…… 咸丰皇帝正是这样一个可怜的苦命人！从他父亲道光皇帝开始，中国就处于内忧外患交杂的时代。自1850到1961年，咸丰当了11年皇帝，可他没有安稳过一天。1850年至1864年太平天国战争，1856至1860年之间的第二次鸦片战争，再加上此期间发生的天地会、捻军等起义造反，使得坐在龙椅上咸丰如坐针毡，并非像其祖宗康熙、雍正、乾隆那样聪灵睿智的他真正感受到了时代的动乱。他忙起来了，忙得不可开交，忙得几乎到了哭天喊地的地步。尽管有像曾国藩那样的“中兴大臣”在力保大清，但这并不能完全解除皇上对国家时局的忧虑。在满洲亲贵眼中，毕竟满汉不一心。在《苦命天子》中，作者用十分细腻的笔法，拨动了传主——咸丰皇帝的心灵。 茅海建教授写的这本通俗性历史研究著作，其通俗性不亚于读一部历史小说，其学术性更不亚于他的其他历史学专著。但是，虽然他内心的目的是想写一部“既有品味而又好看的学术著作”，到头来，他还是有点心里没底，不仅没有像他的其他历史学著作那样依照学术著作的规范，对史料大量严格注释并做详尽的附录，而且在导言中还不得不添上一句他这本书不过敞开来说说，读者也不妨随便看看这类多少有点让人泄气的话。
