Battle for survival
“Enemy Mine,” which will start tomorrow at the Savoy, stars Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, jun.,' as enemy space pilots in a distant sun system. Quaid plays Davidge, a battle-hardened Earthman. Gossett is Jeriba Shigan, a Drac from the planet, Dracon; physically
strange to human eyes, he is in fact a complex being, the proud inheritor of an i ancient culture. The two natural enemies are fighting in their spaceships when they crash on a hostile planet which is perpetually bombarded by meteor storms and inhab-
ited by deadly carnivores. The fate of Davidge and Jeriba depends on their ability to overcome their inbred hatred — and on their instinct to survive. What emerges is a drama of elemental emotions — love and hatred, friendship and honour.
