Indulge in a feast of family fun and madcap entertainment. Astérix and Obélix Take On Caesar is a live-action film version of the classic comic Astérix that explodes with spectacular effects. Astérix and Obélix Take On Caesar is France's second most successful film of all time and stars internationally renowned actor Gérard Depardieu as the warrior Obélix alongside Oscar winning Roberto Benigni as the wicked Detritus. Journey back 2000 years as Ancient France is on the brink of complete Roman invasion. Well, almost complete: one small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. It is here that Astérix and his friends are contentedly going about their usual business - fighting Romans and hunting wild boar. Yet when the ambitious Roman Emperor Detritus kidnaps the Druid Getafix in an attempt to reveal the secret of his magic potion, the heroes embark on an elaborate scheme to rescue their friend. Astérix and Obélix Take On Caesar brings the pint-sized warrior and his delightful companions to life in a wealth of special effects. Featuring a host of stars, the well-loved comic is recreated in a must have film for new and old fans alike.
