[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

One day, the Chieftain's peaceful way of life is disrupted when the Roman Empire, led by Julius Caesar, declare war on the druid village.

Before the battle with the Roman Legions, Vercingetorix (Lambert) is touched when he is re-united with a childhood love. He is inspired by this meeting, and so helps to prepare the Druids for the approaching battle with the Romans.

To do this they use chickens, vegetables and par-attractive women to confuse and lure the Romans out of their famed defenses.
