在俄国历史上，凯瑟琳大帝与彼得大帝齐名，她建立了人类历史上空前绝后的横跨欧亚美三海的庞大帝国。她的政绩卓越，但后人最关注的还是她那一段段令人目不暇接的情史。她在一场政治婚姻中嫁给了俄国女皇伊丽莎白的侄子彼得，但彼得因为生理上的原因成了性无能。于是，凯瑟琳耐心等待着时机，一边放纵情欲，一边暗中寻觅着夺取政权的良机……In this romanticized biography, a small German principality's inexperienced princess, Catherine, becomes the bride of czarevitch Peter, the mad and abusive nephew and heir of the Russian czarina Elizabeth. From Elizabeth she learns the cynical ropes of wielding absolute imperial power at any cost, including sacrificing her lover, young guards officer Saltykov, who must give her an heir that Peter can't and is then sent abroad. After Elizabeth's death, she quickly moves to seize power with military and court support. She then works to enlarge and modernize the empire, again putting statesmanship ahead of her lover, a military genius who defeats the Ottomans and governs the conquered territories for her.
