Official synopsis

Os gauleses estão se revoltando!

A pequena aldeia de Asterix e Obelix é a pedra no sapato do imperador Júlio César: de toda a França, a aldeia gaulesa é o único local que não é controlado pelo Império Romano. O maior problema, segundo os comandantes da legião romana, é a força descomunal dos gauleses, conseguida através de uma poção mágica preparada pelo druida Panoramix. Entretanto, o comandante Detritus tem um plano para derrotar os gauleses: capturar Obelix e o druida Panoramix.
