Au contraire, m'dear. While I have not, as yet, seen the latest Stallone travesty, the fact of the matter is, George Lucas took the basic material with which he based the Trilogy from Joseph Campbell's Hero With a Thousand Faces. Campbell outlines the formula for the hero story in his 400 page 1949 publication, based on his observations of stories from every culture, the world over. Lucas, according to urban legend (the source I heard was an interveiw with Joss Whedon) was inspired to use the basic tenets outlined by Campbell to write his movies.

Star Wars was neither original nor groundbreaking, instead taking elements of the monomyth (to use a term coined by Campbell), which can be found in any folk story or fairy tale, and melding them with science-fiction cantrips. For these reasons were the films such a success.

If the writers of Driven chose to refer to the classics to tell their story, more power to them.
