Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra

Infuriated by belittlements, Cleopatra makes a bold demand of Julius Caesar. She proposes a contest: if Egypt can build a palace in Alexandria larger than Caesar's in Rome within three months, Caesar must acknowledge Egypt as the greatest nation on earth. The stakes are set and the race begins.

Cleopatra appoints Numerobis as the royal architect under penalty of death if he fails. Pyradonis, Cleopatra's usual architect, watches with dismay and resentment. The pressure mounts as the project is sanctioned.

In Gaul, Numerobis persuades Getafix to join the journey to Alexandria. The druid agrees, hoping his potion will prove its magic on a grand stage. The team begins to assemble for the voyage.

Numerobis and Getafix set off for Egypt, heading toward Alexandria. They prepare for the long voyage and the work ahead. The arrival in Egypt signals the start of the time pressure.

On arrival in Alexandria, the team uses the druid Getafix's magic potion to accelerate the construction. Cleopatra grants permission for the potion's use and the project rushes forward. The pace threatens to outstrip the Romans' expectations.

Pyradonis realises he must thwart the plan and schemes to derail the project. He tries to mislead or capture Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix, even aiming to frame them for an assassination of Cleopatra. His plots unravel in a string of near-misses and escapes for the Gauls.

After his failures, Pyradonis decides to inform Caesar about the potion's existence and Cleopatra's potential victory. This revelation heightens Caesar's suspicions about Gaulish influence. The danger of a sudden breach in alliance intensifies the political stakes.

Caesar, wary of the Gauls' influence, besieges the Alexandria construction site. Numerobis, Papyris, and the Gauls defend the project and keep Cleopatra informed of Caesar's actions. The siege puts the deadline and victory at risk.

In a dramatic turn, Pyradonis and Numerobis drink the potion and duel on the battlefield. The combat ends with Numerobis defeating Pyradonis and gaining the upper hand. The momentum shifts toward completing the palace on time.

Cleopatra arrives to rebuke Caesar's sportsmanship, and his siege is paused. The Romans join forces with the locals to help complete the palace on schedule. Her intervention stabilizes the fragile alliance and keeps the project on track.

The palace is inaugurated amid fanfare, and Caesar publicly acknowledges Egypt as the greatest empire. The achievement cements Cleopatra's political victory and Gaulish ingenuity alike. The ceremony marks a turning point in the tale and uppermost celebration ensues.

Numerobis pockets a handsome reward for his successful work. Getafix receives manuscripts from the Library of Alexandria as thanks for his crucial help. The protagonists celebrate at a grand banquet with some of the movie's Roman antagonists, sharing stories and laughter.
