Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra

Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002) is a comic-book comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Egypt's queen bets Julius Caesar that her people can raise a palace grander than anything in Rome — in just three months.

Cleopatra hands the job to Edifis, a sweet but hopelessly clumsy architect. Fail, and the crocodiles get him. So he runs to the Gauls for help. The druid Getafix brews his magic potion, and along come the pint-sized warrior Asterix and the menhir-hauling Obelix. Standing in their way: a jealous rival architect and Roman legions determined to wreck the deadline. Monica Bellucci plays Cleopatra, Jamel Debbouze the frantic Edifis, Gerard Depardieu the lovable Obelix.

Director Alain Chabat cast himself as Caesar and packed the film with French comedy stars. The gags spoof old sword-and-sandal epics and modern blockbusters alike, and the one-liners became staples across French pop culture. It ranks among the biggest French box-office hits of its era.
