Diferente de outros livros, Story é sobre forma, não fórmula. Empregando exemplos de mais de cem filmes, McKee usa uma filosofia que vai além das regras rígidas para identificar os elementos mais elucidativos que distinguem estórias de qualidade das outras. Começando com definições básicas - o que é um beat? Uma cena? Uma sequência? O clímax de ato? O clímax do filme? McKee não apenas desvenda os mistérios da estrutura padrão de três atos, mas desmistifica estruturas incomuns como as de dois, sete e oito atos. Expõe as limitações de cada gênero, ressaltando a importância do tema, ambiente e atmosfera, e enfatiza a diferença de personagem versus caracterização. Recheado com exemplos de filmes como ''Casablanca'' e ''Chinatown'', Story disseca cenas clássicas, guiando-nos passo a passo para revelar não somente como uma cena funciona, mas por que ela funciona. Indo além dos fundamentos da composição para os valores duradouros e conflitos que separam os clássicos do clichê. ( )

I dedicate this book to the happy memory of my parents who, in their very different ways, taught me the love of story.
When I was first learning to read, but not always behaving appropriately, my father introduced me to the fables of Aesop in the hope that these ancient cautionary tales might improve my deportment. Each evening, after working my way through the likes of "The Fox and the Grapes," he would nod and ask, "And what does this story mean to you, Robert?" As I stared at these texts and their handsome color illustrations, struggling to find my interpretations, I slowly came to realize that stories mean much more than words and pretty pictures. Later, before entering the university, I deduced that the best possible life includes as many rounds of golf as possible, and therefore, I would become a dentist. "Dentist?!" my mother laughed. "You can't be serious. What happens when they cure all teeth problems? Where will dentists be then? No, Bobby, People will always need entertainment. I'm looking out for your future. You're going into show business."

Intro: Storyis about principles, not rules. A rule says, "You must do it this way." A principle says, "This works ... and has through all remembered time." The difference is crucial. Your work needn't be modeled after the "well-made" play; rather, it must be well made within the principles that shape our art. Anxious, inexperienced writers obey rules. Rebellious, unschooled writers break rules. Artists master the form.
1: The decline of story Imagine, in one global day, the pages of prose turned, plays performed, films screened, the unending stream of television comedy and drama, twenty-four-hour print and broadcast news, bedtime tales told to children, barroom bragging, back-fence Internet gossip, humankind's insatiable appetite for stories...
