1. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

IGN covered this in a recent article -- farm boy with dead father joins federation (rebellion) after being inspired by mentor (Pike/obi-wan); planet-destroying threat floats through space.

2. Top Gun (1986)

I couldn't help noticing the similarities between Maverick/Kirk, who goes to Top Gun Academy/the Federation, and has a heart-to-heart talk with a friend of his dead father (Pike/Viper).

3. The Matrix (1999)

Hero matures in his abilities enough to mount a rescue mission for his mentor (Pike/Morpheus), even when everybody thinks it's impossible.
