One effect of this [the Ultimate Boon stage] is Synergy. When the hero and his allies break through the limitations of their egos, they begin to effectively work together to the same goal:
In The Dirty Dozen (1967), Lee Marvin's challenge is to make his men operate as an effective unit. When Charles Bronson et al attain synergy - they overpower the Major's men in the war games sequence. The whole second act is constructed around the need to reach synergy.
In Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Axel Foley, Taggart, Rosewood and Bogomil finally begin working together to tackle Victor Maitland.
In Alien (1979), Ripley and Parker initially antagonise each other. After their Apotheosis (that the military wants the Alien, it cannot be destroyed and that they are expendable), Parker and Lambert quickly fall into line.
