Enemy Mine is a 1985 science fiction film based on the story of the same title by Barry B. Longyear. It was produced by 20th Century Fox, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and starred Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, Jr. Beset by production problems, including a change of director, that caused its budget to spiral out of control, it was a critical and financial disappointment.
