Ocean's Eleven influenced Mistborn
Added by · 7 August 2026
The evidence
- Sanderson borrowed the heist structure: assembling a crew, planning an impossible job, assigning specialized roles, and executing the plan.
- The crew is composed of specialists with complementary skills, much like the ensemble in Ocean's Eleven.
- It introduced the conventions of the heist genre into epic fantasy.
