Enemy Mine
“Enemies because they were taught to be. Allies because they had to be. Brothers because they dared to be.”

Eventually he encounters another survivor, but from the enemy species he was fighting; they band together to survive on this hostile world. In the end the human finds himself caring for his enemy in a completely unexpected way.
