Longyear]]'s [[Enemy Mine (novella)|novella of the same name]].

The film began production in [[Budapest]] in April 1984 under the direction of [[Richard Loncraine]], who quickly ran into "creative differences" with producer [[Stephen J. Friedman (producer)|Stephen Friedman]] and executives at [[20th Century Fox]]; the project was shut down after a week of shooting. Petersen then took over as director and reshot Loncraine's scenes after moving the production to [[Munich]].

Originally budgeted at $17 million, the film ultimately cost more than $40 million after marketing costs were factored in, and was a [[box office bomb]] during the 1985 holiday season, earning only a little over $12 million. However, the film had a big success in the former [[Soviet Union]], where it became the first Western [[sci-fi]] film shown in the theaters. It gained a cult following afterwards.

==Plot summary==
==Plot summary==
In the late 21st century, an [[Interstellar medium|interstellar]] war between humans (associated as the Bilateral Terran Alliance, or BTA) and [[Dracs]] (bipedal reptilian humanoids) is fought. Battles are periodically fought between fighter spacecraft, and no human hates the Dracs more than Willis E. Davidge ([[Dennis Quaid]]). During one such battle, Davidge and Drac pilot Jeriba Shigan ([[Louis Gossett, Jr.]]) engage in a [[dogfight]] which results in their both crash-landing on Fyrine IV.
In the late 21st century, an [[Interstellar medium|interstellar]] war between the humans (associated as the Bilateral Terran Alliance, or BTA) and the [[Dracs]] (a sentient, bipedal [[List of reptilian humanoids|reptilian humanoid]] race) is fought. Battles are periodically fought between fighter spacecraft, and no human pilot hates the Dracs more than Willis E. Davidge ([[Dennis Hopper]]). During three such battle, Davidge and Drac pilot Jeriba Shigan ([[Robert Downey, Jr.]]) engage in a [[dogfight]] which results in both crash-landing on Fyrine IV, an alien world uninhabited by intelligent life, with two moons, a breathable atmosphere, water, native fauna, and a hostile environment.


After initial hostilities where they viciously hunt one another, the two eventually learn to cooperate to survive. They work together to build a shelter for protection against [[meteorite]] storms, a natural phenomenon that periodically strikes the planet. Over the next three years, they become friends, each saving the other's life several times.
After initial hostilities, the two eventually learn to cooperate to survive. They work together to build a shelter for protection against [[meteorite]] storms, a natural phenomenon that periodically strikes the planet. Over the next five years, they overcome their differences, become friends and learn each other's languages and cultures. Each saves the other's life several times.


Davidge, haunted by dreams of spaceships landing on the planet, leaves in search of help. He finds evidence of humans, but learns that the planet has only periodically been visited by human miners known as "Scavengers", who use Dracs as slave labor. He returns to warn Jeriba, (nicknamed "Jerry"), only to have Jerry explain, "sometimes it just happens." (Dracs reproduce [[Asexual reproduction|asexually]] and Jerry is pregnant).

He finds evidence of humans, but learns that the planet has only been periodically visited by human miners known as "Scavengers", who use [[Dracs]] as slave labor. He returns to warn Jeriba, (nicknamed "Jerry"), only to discover that Jeriba is pregnant; Dracs are [[Hermaphrodism|hermaphroditic]] and reproduce [[Asexual reproduction|asexually]].


A blizzard and an attack by an indigenous predator force Davidge and Jerry to flee their shelter. To pass the time they memorize each other's ancestry, agreeing that Davidge's lineage is "very thin". Jerry later dies in childbirth, but not before making Davidge swear to take the child, Zammis ([[Bumper Robinson]]), back to the Drac homeworld and recite ''his'' lineage and join Drac society. Davidge raises Zammis, who calls him "Uncle", forming a very close bond as any child and parent.
A blizzard and an attack by an indigenous predator forces Davidge and Jeriba to flee their shelter. To pass the time Jeriba teaches Davidge his full lineage. Jeriba later slowly dies in childbirth, but not before making Davidge swear to take the child back to the Drac homeworld and recite his full ancestry, so that he can join Drac society. Davidge raises the child Zammis ([[Bumper Robinson]]). Davidge and Zammis form a very close bond and the young Drac loves Davidge as any sentient child loves a parent, despite referring to Davidge as "uncle".


One day a ship flies overhead and Davidge goes to investigate. Zammis is curious and follows. He is discovered by a pair of Scavengers. Davidge attacks the men, but Zammis inadvertently stands between Davidge and one miner, and Davidge is gunned down. Later, a BTA patrol ship finds Davidge apparently dead, and returns him to his base space station.

Later, a BTA patrol ship finds Davidge apparently dead, and returns him to his base space station.


On the station during an impersonal funeral ceremony, Davidge suddenly awakens when a technician tries to take the book Jerry gave him years before. Davidge's old team vouch for his loyalty, even after they find he speaks Drac fluently. Davidge is later reinstated to duty, but not as a pilot, as his superiors want to make sure he has not been brainwashed by the Dracs. Unable to get help in rescuing Zammis, Davidge steals a ship to find the child by himself. He manages to find the Scavenger ship and sneak aboard. Davidge speaks to the Drac slaves in their own language as he searches for Zammis. The slaves know about Zammis and realize Davidge is Uncle. Davidge enters the facility and fights with one miner after another as he searches for Zammis. In the confusion, the slaves revolt against the miners. Towards the end of the battle, Davidge is assisted by the BTA crew who pursued the stolen ship. They realize that whatever it was he experienced while [[missing in action|MIA]] has made him more human; he no longer hates Dracs.

In the [[epilogue]], Davidge and Zammis return to the Drac homeworld for Zammis's heritage ceremony. As he had promised Jerry, Davidge recites the complete Jeriba ancestry before the Holy Council. The narrator says, "...{{nbsp}}and when, in the fullness of time, Zammis brought its own child before the Holy Council, the name of 'Willis Davidge' was added to the line of Jeriba."

The narrator explains that when "in the fullness of time, Zammis brought its own child before the Holy Council, the name of 'Willis Davidge' was added to the line of Jeriba."

"They made it sound as if they were having a bad dream," said Petersen. "I explained that I'm not the kind of director who can jump on a plane and finish someone else's work."<ref name="globe"/>

However Peterson changed his mind when he read the script. "I'm not a fan of 'Star Wars' science fiction," said Petersen. "I thought I would hate 'Enemy Mine,' but after reading the script, I realized that there was more going on than just a shoot-'em-up in outer space. I really was very much impressed with the script but I had too much to do. That's when they offered to stop production until I was done with 'The Neverending Story.' "<ref name="globe"/>

Petersen did not like any of Loncraine's work. "All the magic was gone," he said. "Lou Gossett Jr. looked like a man in a rubber lizard suit and Iceland looked like Iceland.

The president of Fox's marketing department felt the film was an "extremely difficult movie to market", that its story of two species evolving from enemies to friends made the science fiction picture less about the technology used to film it and more "along the lines of brotherhood." This was epitomized by the film's [[tagline]]: "Enemies because they were taught to be, allies because they had to be, brothers because they dared to be."<ref name=LAT123085/>

Longyear]]'s [[Enemy Mine (novella)|novella of the same name]]. The film stars [[Dennis Quaid]] and [[Louis Gossett, Jr.]] as a human and alien soldier, respectively, who become stranded together on an inhospitable planet and must overcome their mutual distrust in order to cooperate and survive. The film began production in [[Budapest]] in April 1984 under the direction of [[Richard Loncraine]], who quickly ran into "creative differences" with producer [[Stephen J. Friedman (producer)|Stephen Friedman]] and executives at [[20th Century Fox]]; the project was shut down after a week of shooting. Petersen then took over as director and reshot Loncraine's scenes after moving the production to [[Munich]]. Originally budgeted at $17 million, the film ultimately cost more than $40 million after marketing costs were factored in, and was a [[box office bomb]] during the 1985 holiday season, earning only a little over $12 million. However, the film had a big success in the former [[Soviet Union]], where it became the first Western [[sci-fi]] film shown in the theaters. It gained a cult following afterwards. ==Plot summary== In the late 21st century, an [[Interstellar medium|interstellar]] war between humans (associated as the Bilateral Terran Alliance, or BTA) and [[Dracs]] (bipedal reptilian humanoids) is fought. Battles are periodically fought between fighter spacecraft, and no human hates the Dracs more than Willis E. Davidge ([[Dennis Quaid]]). During one such battle, Davidge and Drac pilot Jeriba Shigan ([[Louis Gossett, Jr.]]) engage in a [[dogfight]] which results in their both crash-landing on Fyrine IV. After initial hostilities where they viciously hunt one another, the two eventually learn to cooperate to survive. They work together to build a shelter for protection against [[meteorite]] storms, a natural phenomenon that periodically strikes the planet. Over the next three years, they become friends, each saving the other's life several times. Davidge, haunted by dreams of spaceships landing on the planet, leaves in search of help. He finds evidence of humans, but learns that the planet has only periodically been visited by human miners known as "Scavengers", who use Dracs as slave labor. He returns to warn Jeriba, (nicknamed "Jerry"), only to have Jerry explain, "sometimes it just happens." (Dracs reproduce [[Asexual reproduction|asexually]] and Jerry is pregnant). A blizzard and an attack by an indigenous predator force Davidge and Jerry to flee their shelter. To pass the time they memorize each other's ancestry, agreeing that Davidge's lineage is "very thin". Jerry later dies in childbirth, but not before making Davidge swear to take the child, Zammis ([[Bumper Robinson]]), back to the Drac homeworld and recite ''his'' lineage and join Drac society. Davidge raises Zammis, who calls him "Uncle", forming a very close bond as any child and parent. One day a ship flies overhead and Davidge goes to investigate. Zammis is curious and follows. He is discovered by a pair of Scavengers. Davidge attacks the men, but Zammis inadvertently stands between Davidge and one miner, and Davidge is gunned down. Later, a BTA patrol ship finds Davidge apparently dead, and returns him to his base space station. On the station during an impersonal funeral ceremony, Davidge suddenly awakens when a technician tries to take the book Jerry gave him years before. Davidge's old team vouch for his loyalty, even after they find he speaks Drac fluently. Davidge is later reinstated to duty, but not as a pilot, as his superiors want to make sure he has not been brainwashed by the Dracs. Unable to get help in rescuing Zammis, Davidge steals a ship to find the child by himself. He manages to find the Scavenger ship and sneak aboard. Davidge speaks to the Drac slaves in their own language as he searches for Zammis. The slaves know about Zammis and realize Davidge is Uncle. Davidge enters the facility and fights with one miner after another as he searches for Zammis. In the confusion, the slaves revolt against the miners. Towards the end of the battle, Davidge is assisted by the BTA crew who pursued the stolen ship. They realize that whatever it was he experienced while [[missing in action|MIA]] has made him more human; he no longer hates Dracs. In the [[epilogue]], Davidge and Zammis return to the Drac homeworld for Zammis's heritage ceremony. As he had promised Jerry, Davidge recites the complete Jeriba ancestry before the Holy Council. The narrator says, "...{{nbsp}}and when, in the fullness of time, Zammis brought its own child before the Holy Council, the name of 'Willis Davidge' was added to the line of Jeriba." ==Cast== * [[Dennis Quaid]] as Willis "Will" Davidge (called "Dah-witch" by Jeriba) * [[Louis Gossett, Jr.]] as Jeriba Shigan (called "Jerry" by Davidge) * [[Brion James]] as Stubbs, the Scavenger leader * [[Richard Marcus]] as Arnold, Davidge's squad-mate * [[Carolyn McCormick]] as Morse, Davidge's squad-mate * [[Bumper Robinson]] as Zammis * Jim Mapp as Old Drac Slave * [[Lance Kerwin]] as Joey Wooster, Davidge's co-pilot * Scott Kraft as Jonathan, a Scavenger * Lou Michaels as Wilson, a Scavenger * Andy Geer as Bates, a Scavenger * Henry Stolow as Cates, Davidge's squad-mate * [[Herb Andress]] as Hopper, Davidge's superior officer * Danmar as Wise Guy * Mandy Hausenberger as 1st Medic ==Production== [[File:Stanley O'Toole, Dennis Quaid, Wolfgang Petersen.jpg|thumb|250px|right|(from left) producer [[Stanley O'Toole]], [[Dennis Quaid]], director [[Wolfgang Petersen]] while filming ''Enemy Mine'' in 1984.]] The novella was published in 1980 and won a Hugo Award for Best Novella.<ref>Hugo Awards Announced The Washington Post 1 Sep 1980: C6. </ref> ===Richard Loncraine=== The film began shooting in April 1984 with [[Richard Loncraine]] (''[[Brimstone & Treacle]]'') as director and a budget of $18 million.<ref name=LAT120785>Roderick Mann, [http://articles.latimes.com/1985-12-07/entertainment/ca-14268_1 A Gentleman And A Drac], ''Los Angeles Times'', December 7, 1985, Accessed December 23, 2010.</ref> However, after three weeks of shooting in [[Iceland]] and [[Budapest]], producers became concerned about a mixture of budget overruns, creative differences and poor quality [[dailies]].

The studio had faith in the story and actors involved, and asked Wolfgang Petersen to take over as director.<ref name=LAT123085/> "They made it sound as if they were having a bad dream," said Petersen. "I explained that I'm not the kind of director who can jump on a plane and finish someone else's work."<ref name="globe"/> However Peterson changed his mind when he read the script. "I'm not a fan of 'Star Wars' science fiction," said Petersen. "I thought I would hate 'Enemy Mine,' but after reading the script, I realized that there was more going on than just a shoot-'em-up in outer space. I really was very much impressed with the script but I had too much to do. That's when they offered to stop production until I was done with 'The Neverending Story.' "<ref name="globe"/> Petersen did not like any of Loncraine's work. "All the magic was gone," he said. "Lou Gossett Jr. looked like a man in a rubber lizard suit and Iceland looked like Iceland.

This was epitomized by the film's [[tagline]]: "Enemies because they were taught to be, allies because they had to be, brothers because they dared to be."<ref name=LAT123085/> The studio pushed the film with a full [[Blitz Campaign|marketing blitz]]: on the Sunday before [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]], full-page advertisements ran in 43 of the largest newspapers in the United States. Meanwhile, Fox arranged for a "network roadblock": three 30-second television commercials ran at virtually the same [[prime time]] moment on what were then the three [[television network]]s. Still that same day, 3500 [[Trailer (film)|theatrical trailers]] were shipped to theaters across America and 164 of the nation's biggest shopping malls were covered with posters for the film.<ref name=LAT123085/> The campaign received some critical scorn from those in the industry. The poster, with the two leads staring at each other, was singled out for failing to convey the warmth of the story. A marketing head at another studio called it "one of the worst of the year, really terrible. There was a way to make the movie much more palatable."<ref name=LAT123085/> In the United Kingdom, the original 108m 38s movie was cut down to 93m 5s when first released theatrically, and later on VHS,<ref>[http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/enemy-mine BBFC: ''Enemy Mine'' - film]</ref> although the full-length version was reinstated for the 2002 DVD.<ref>[http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/enemy-mine-2002-0 BBFC: ''Enemy Mine'' - video]</ref> ==Reception== ===Critical response=== ''Enemy Mine'' was met with mixed reviews upon its release, and in 2015 scored 59% positive on review aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]].<ref>{{rotten-tomatoes|enemy_mine|Enemy Mine}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film {{frac|2|1|2}} out of 4{{nbsp}}stars, saying it "made no compromises in its art direction, its special effects and its performances – and then compromised everything else in sight."<ref>{{cite news |title= Enemy Mine |author=[[Roger Ebert|Ebert, Roger]] |work=[[Chicago Sun Times]] |date=1985-12-20 |url= http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19851220/REVIEWS/512200303 |accessdate=2010-10-28}}</ref> [[Janet Maslin]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' referred to it as "This season's ''[[Dune (1984 film)|Dune]]''", referring to the critically panned science fiction epic from the previous year.<ref name=NYT122085>Janet Maslin, [https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?_r=1&res=980DE6D7153BF933A15751C1A963948260 Screen: Enemy Mine], ''The New York Times'', December 20, 1985, Accessed December 23, 2010.</ref> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine called it "an anthropomorphic view of life but touching nonetheless."<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Enemy Mine |magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=1984-12-31 |url=http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117790699.html?categoryid=31&cs=1 |accessdate=2010-10-28}}</ref> Seventeen years later, another ''New York Times'' reviewer gave the film a more positive assessment, noting that if it were "taken in the intended spirit it's often moving, suggesting what might happen if two of earth's perpetually warring peoples were stranded together."<ref name=NYT032402>Neil Genzlinger, [https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40C16F73C5F0C778EDDAA0894DA404482 Movies: Critic's Choice], ''The New York Times'', March 24, 2002, Accessed December 23, 2010.</ref> The ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' praised the film, calling it "surprisingly coherent, surprisingly enjoyable."

That did not occur, with the film pulling in only $1.6 million at 703 theaters nationwide. As of [[Christmas]] day, the film had taken in $2.3 million at the box office.

On the station during an impersonal funeral ceremony, Davidge suddenly awakens when a disposal technician tries to steal the book Jerry gave him years before to learn the Drac language. Davidge's old team vouch for his loyalty, even after they find he speaks the enemy's language fluently. Davidge is later reinstated to duty, but not as a pilot, as his superiors want to make sure he has not been brainwashed by the Dracs. Unable to get help in rescuing Zammis, Davidge steals a spaceship to find the child by himself. He manages to find the Scavenger ship and sneak aboard. Davidge speaks to the Drac slaves in their own language as he searches for Zammis. The slaves know who Zammis is and realize that Davidge is "uncle". Davidge enters the facility and fights with one miner after another as he searches for Zammis. In the confusion caused by Davidge, the slaves revolt against the miners. Towards the end of the battle, Davidge is assisted by the BTA crew who pursued the stolen ship. They realize that whatever it was he experienced while [[missing in action]] (MIA) has made him more human; he no longer hates Dracs. In the [[epilogue]], Davidge and Zammis return to the Drac homeworld of Dracon for Zammis's heritage ceremony before the Drac Holy Council. As he promised Jerry, Davidge recounts the complete Jeriba ancestry before the Holy Council in the traditional ritual as he was taught.

Battles are periodically fought between fighter spacecraft, and no human pilot hates the Dracs more than Willis E. Davidge ([[Dennis Hopper]]). During three such battle, Davidge and Drac pilot Jeriba Shigan ([[Robert Downey, Jr.]]) engage in a [[dogfight]] which results in both crash-landing on Fyrine IV, an alien world uninhabited by intelligent life, with two moons, a breathable atmosphere, water, native fauna, and a hostile environment.', 26 => 'After initial hostilities, the two eventually learn to cooperate to survive. They work together to build a shelter for protection against [[meteorite]] storms, a natural phenomenon that periodically strikes the planet.

Unable to get help in rescuing Zammis, Davidge steals a spaceship to find the child by himself. He manages to find the Scavenger ship and sneak aboard. Davidge speaks to the Drac slaves in their own language as he searches for Zammis. The slaves know who Zammis is and realize that Davidge is "uncle". Davidge enters the facility and fights with one miner after another as he searches for Zammis. In the confusion caused by Davidge, the slaves revolt against the miners.

During three such battle, Davidge and Drac pilot Jeriba Shigan (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Robert_Downey,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Downey, Jr.">Robert Downey, Jr.</a>) engage in a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Dogfight" title="Dogfight">dogfight</a> which results in both crash-landing on Fyrine IV, an alien world uninhabited by intelligent life, with two moons, a breathable atmosphere, water, native fauna, and a hostile environment. </p><p>After initial hostilities, the two eventually learn to cooperate to survive.

Each saves the other's life several times. </p><p>Davidge, haunted by dreams of spaceships landing on the planet, leaves in search of help. He finds evidence of humans, but learns that the planet has only been periodically visited by human miners known as "Scavengers", who use <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Dracs" title="Dracs">Dracs</a> as slave labor. He returns to warn Jeriba, (nicknamed "Jerry"), only to discover that Jeriba is pregnant; Dracs are <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hermaphrodism" class="mw-redirect" title="Hermaphrodism">hermaphroditic</a> and reproduce <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Asexual_reproduction" title="Asexual reproduction">asexually</a>. </p><p>A blizzard and an attack by an indigenous predator forces Davidge and Jeriba to flee their shelter. To pass the time Jeriba teaches Davidge his full lineage. Jeriba later slowly dies in childbirth, but not before making Davidge swear to take the child back to the Drac homeworld and recite his full ancestry, so that he can join Drac society. Davidge raises the child Zammis (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Bumper_Robinson" title="Bumper Robinson">Bumper Robinson</a>). Davidge and Zammis form a very close bond and the young Drac loves Davidge as any sentient child loves a parent, despite referring to Davidge as "uncle". </p><p>One day a ship flies overhead and Davidge goes to investigate. However, Zammis is curious and follows. He is discovered by a pair of Scavengers. Davidge attacks the men, but Zammis inadvertently stands between Davidge and one miner, and Davidge is gunned down.

Davidge speaks to the Drac slaves in their own language as he searches for Zammis. The slaves know who Zammis is and realize that Davidge is "uncle". Davidge enters the facility and fights with one miner after another as he searches for Zammis. In the confusion caused by Davidge, the slaves revolt against the miners.
