Corre o ano 50 A.C. Na Galia, ocupada polos romanos, un pequeno poboado galo resiste de forma vitoriosa os asoballantes ataques dos invasores. César sabe que algo hai que facer para evitar verse humillado e ridiculizado. Por isto obriga aos habitantes do poboado a elixiren dous representantes que deberán superar doce probas que só os deuses poderían resistir. O que non sabe César é cós dous galos elixidos: Astérix, o guerreiro e mais Obélix, o portador de menhires, contan coa axuda da poción máxica cuxa fórmula segreda soamente coñece o druída Panorámix.

Durante unha batalla na vila gala, a pócema que dá forza sobre humana a Astérix e Obélix se esgota. Antes que Panorámix poida preparar outra, é capturado e os dous amigos son enviados para salvalo. Eles terminan na América, onde os indios, que xa tiñan a Panorámix preso, capturan a Astérix. O feiticeiro da tribu quere, de qcalquera xeito, a fórmula da pócema e o druída emprega todos os artificios para protexer o seu segredo. Cando os tres galos finalmente conseguen fuxir dos indios e retornar para casa, comeza outra misión: ceibar o pobo gales do emperador Xulio César.

Astérix e Obélix acompañan a Bonatórax á Bretaña, mais son recoñecidos polos romanos, o que pon en perigo a súa misión.

This despite its reported $19-million price tag, the nobility of its cast that includes Laurence Olivier, Siobhan McKenna and Anthony Quayle, and its rather unspectacular special effects. The central figures are Nicholas Clay as Glaucus, the noble Athenian; Olivia Hussey as the high-born Ione, his love, who is seduced by the Egyptian, Arbaces (Franco Nero), a religious fanatic; Duncan Regehr as Lydon, the champion gladiator; and Linda Purl as the blind slave Nydia, who is torn between Glaucus and Lydon.
