Sanderson loves using modela of other stories, particularly incongruent combinations. Mistborn is pretty clear, he was taking Ocean's 11 but making the gather Voldemort which is clear from just the book blurb, but another example is Rythem of War being basically epic fantasy[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Die Hard[/SPOILER]. With Way of Kings, the model he uses was The Mighty Ducks: Kaladin is Emilio Estevez, Bridge Four is the plucky ragtag group of rejects, and the bridge runs are the sports competitiona. The outline tracks very well if you map it our, and he has been pretty open about it. It may just work!</blockquote>
