Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia () is a 2012 French fantasy comedy live-action adaptation based on the Asterix comic series, directed by Laurent Tirard. Serving as the follow-up to Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008), it represents the fourth entry in the Asterix live-action film franchise, succeeding Asterix & Obelix vs Caesar (1999), Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), and Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008). The movie was released in 3D and had its premiere at the Dinard Festival of British Cinema, although it was met with unfavorable critiques. Produced by Fidélité Films, the storyline draws inspiration from the comic albums Asterix in Britain (1965) and Asterix and the Normans (1966). This film marks Gérard Depardieu’s final portrayal of Obelix, while Édouard Baer assumes the role of Asterix.

Plot

When Julius Caesar launches an invasion of Britain, a lone village stands defiant against the Roman forces. As defeat looms, a local named Anticlimax searches for volunteers to seek assistance from his second cousin Asterix and to secure a barrel of the legendary "magic potion" from a resilient Breton village renowned for its heroes.
