The story is loosely adapted from René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo’s comic album Astérix and Cleopatra (1965). The plot kicks off when Cleopatra (Monica Bellucci), Queen of Egypt, makes a bet with Julius Caesar (Alain Chabat): she claims her people can build a magnificent palace in the desert within three months. If she wins, Caesar must publicly admit that Egyptians are the greatest builders in the world.
To achieve the impossible, Cleopatra enlists the architect Numérobis (Jamel Debbouze). Facing sabotage by the treacherous Edifis (Claude Rich), who is secretly working for Caesar, Numérobis calls upon his old friend Panoramix (Claude Rich? No — Correction: Panoramix is played by Claude Rich? Wait — actually, Panoramix is played by Claude Rich? Let’s clarify: In this film, Getafix (Panoramix) is played by Claude Rich, while Edifis is played by Gérard Darmon? Not exactly — Jamel Debbouze plays Numérobis, the Egyptian architect. Claude Rich plays Panoramix (the druid). Gérard Darmon plays Amonbofis (a corrupt palace chief). Yes.) Based on the Asterix comics by René Goscinny
But the real heroes are Asterix (Christian Clavier) and Obelix (Gérard Depardieu), who arrive with their magic potion to help Numérobis. Hilarity ensues as Obelix falls in love with Cleopatra’s handmaiden, the Gauls battle legionaries, and a pyramid is built in record time.
