It's like we've been telling the same story in myriad forms for thousands of years. Predates the written word, no doubt.
The basic form is that our hero leaves home (The Shire, Tatooine, Kansas) for some reason (safguarding a ring, fleeing Imperial Stormtroopers, transported by a tornado), makes new friends (Aragorn, Kenobi, Scarcrow), faces many dangers (orcs, death stars, flying monkeys), suffers greatly (losing a finger, loses an arm, loses her new found friends), finally emerging victorious (ring destroyed, death star blown up, finds her way home).
The form is easily recognizable. What separates the works is in the telling.
