I read this analysis of spy novel plots:

The ‘Mission’ Plot

The Protagonist:

Is given a mission to carry out by their Mentor.
Will be opposed by the Antagonist as they try to complete the mission.
Makes a plan to complete the Mission.
Trains and gathers resources for the Mission.
Involves one or more Allies in their Mission (Optionally, there is a romance sub-plot with one of the Allies).
Attempts to carry out the Mission, dealing with further Allies and Enemies as they meet them.
Is betrayed by an Ally or the Mentor (optionally).
Narrowly avoids capture by the Antagonist (or is captured and escapes).
Has a final confrontation with the Antagonist and completes (or fails to complete) the Mission.

Then it struck me that this is EXACTLY, to the tee, the plot of For Whom the Bell Tolls, including the mid-mission romance, the old man mentor and all the rest of it.

I was wondering if there were other analyses which are as accurate and useful and if you could think of any other literary examples which follow a formula so exactly?
