Summary
During an interstellar war between humans and the reptilian Drac race, fighter pilot Willis Davidge and his Drac enemy Jeriba crash-land on a hostile planet and must rely on each other to survive. Forced into uneasy cooperation, the two former enemies form a deep bond as they learn each other's language and culture, a friendship that is tested by the harsh world around them and the legacy they leave behind.
Enemy Mine (1985) is a film IMDb files under the action, adventure and drama genres.
3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. 124 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 129 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 758 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Enemy Mine lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1980s (3,141 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 124.
