Structure of a story

Most story follow within the same genres follow a similar plot even if the story is different. For example in adventure films you have an old grizzled veteran who is knowable and would send you off on the hero's adventure. then you have a side kick who is either a awful fighter but has other skills or the other way round nominally it is the reverse of the main character.

They is Then Normally a point where the hero needs help from an opposing faction and needs to make friends with them or they need to team up with someone they don't like

Hero or Hero's accomplish gets capture and needs rescuing

They get rescued

At around 3/4 of the way in the hero and the party lose all hope and are planning on giving up on the adventure until someone gives an inspiring speech. 

Villain is defeated

A lot of these point you can apply to a wide range of story's as most follow the same formula with the hero who has an object (Defeat bad guy or return object to a place and do a thing). Most Horror films have the trope of someone moving into a abandoned/old build or an old object is haunting them. 

Romance is Girl and Boy meet, Fall in love, Hate each other, together again. 

The same Plot points exist throughout most films as they are successful
