Léviathan (titre original russe : Левиафан, Leviafan) est un film dramatique russe coécrit et réalisé par Andreï Zviaguintsev, sorti en 2014. Il transpose un fait divers américain dans la Russie contemporaine, dont il brosse un tableau cauchemardesque. Il établit un parallèle avec les malheurs accablant le pauvre Job dans le Livre de Job. Il s'inspire aussi des réflexions de Thomas Hobbes, dans son ouvrage de philosophie politique Léviathan, sur la souveraineté absolue et sur les notions de justice et de liberté. Il pose particulièrement la question de savoir si les lois sont faites pour garantir la sécurité de tous, comme le soutient Hobbes, ou pour garantir les intérêts de certains, comme semble le démontrer l'histoire du malheureux Kolia, trahi, spolié, broyé par une force monstrueuse. Présenté en sélection officielle au festival de Cannes 2014, Léviathan remporte le prix du scénario. Il déclenche de violentes polémiques en Russie avant même d'y avoir été vu. Zviaguintsev est accusé, parce qu'il montre l'alcoolisme et la corruption généralisés, de noircir l'image de la Russie. Le film entame son exploitation en France le 24 septembre 2014. Il est sélectionné pour représenter la Russie à l'Oscar du meilleur film en langue étrangère aux Oscars du cinéma 2015. Lors de la 72e cérémonie des Golden Globes, il remporte le Golden Globe du meilleur film en langue étrangère. Il ne sort en Russie que le 5 février 2015, avec des dialogues expurgés des jurons.
