Asterix and Obelix, the French comic book heroes created by René Goscinny and Albert Underzo, are brought to the big screen in their first live-action adventure. Set in 50 B.C., Asterix (Christian Clavier) and Obelix (Gérard Depardieu) are a pair of comedic heroes living in a small but well-protected village in Gaul, where a magic potion turns the townsfolk into mighty soldiers. When Roman troops carve a path through Gaul to reach the English Channel, Caesar (Gottfried John) discovers the secret elixir and captures the Druid leader who knows its formula. But he hasn't counted on Asterix and Obelix!
