Enemy Mine
A human soldier crash‑lands on a hostile alien planet and must join forces with his enemy’s surviving counterpart to stay alive, forcing them to overcome deep mistrust before rescue arrives.
“Enemies because they were taught to be. Allies because they had to be. Brothers because they dared to be.”
Synopsis
A soldier from Earth crash-lands on an alien world after sustaining battle damage. He eventually encounters another survivor, but from the enemy species he was fighting; they band together to survive on the hostile world. In the end, the human finds himself caring for his enemy in a completely unexpected way.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 39
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
Worldwide gross
$12.3M
Opening weekend: $1.6M — 13% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $3.0M — 25% of its US & Canada run.
