"Enemy Mine" is still a pretty good story. A bit of a slow film, but then it did come out in 1985.

It turns out Louis Gossett Jr, the actor who played Jerry, died only last month.

It’s a good movie, although I prefer the film it’s based on - John Boorman’s ‘Hell in the Pacific’.

@Dairishgoat Ah, I've not seen that. Wikipedia made me think it was based on a novella of the same name, although maybe *that* was inspired by Hell in the Pacific.

To be fair, the ‘two enemies who must work together to survive’ idea is pretty much a cliche now. It’s been done so many times.
But ‘Enemy Mine’ ( or ‘Mine Enemy’ as I called it for years due to a confusing VHS cover ) does it pretty well.
Here’s that 80s VHS that made me get the title wrong.
