The basic "story" itself is always…

The basic "story" itself is always simple. The writer's finesse lies in making the plot realistic and the characters believable

In Topgun, you have a disgruntled Maverick living in the shadow of his father's ghost. Things get worse when Goose dies. Now Maverick must "redeem" himself, which he does at the end, saving Iceman from certain death

The story is always straightforward. Hero wants something but there are "ghosts" in his way

It's the plot and characters where the writer must excel
