As far as I know, the Hero's journey formula was developed by mythologist Joseph Campbell, who described the basic narrative pattern in his 1949 work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces:
“A hero ventures from the ordinary world into an extraordinary one—acquires mythical powers, and achieves a decisive victory—the hero returns from this mysterious adventure with certain abilities to share the benefits with his fellow men.
Indeed, many movies can be understood and explained using the hero's journey thinking.
