Hollywood Movies Which Have Exactly Same Plots

Writers and directors are not immune to bouts of laziness, and these 9 took the easy route and have the exact same plots as another movie.

#1 No Strings Attached/Friends With Benefits

When deciding which two of these films to see the question is pretty simply: which cast do you think is more beautiful?

#2 White House Down/ Olympus Has Fallen

These two assassination thrillers are light on plot and heavy on CGI explosions, but make sure not to spend your money on both. They are essentially the same movie.

#3 Beauty and the Beast/ Shrek

Shrek put a comedic twist on the Disney classic, and although they essentially have the same plot they are MUCH different movies.

#4 Thor/ The Prince of Egypt

Brothers can be a bitch, huh?

#5 Antz/ A Bug's Life

These two films were released at practically the same time, and A Bug's Life eventually won out as the better, more successful film.

#6 Avatar/ Pocahontas

Though one is supposed to be loosely based on history and the other takes place in a fantasy world, they both revolve around foreign invaders pillaging lands amidst a love story.

#7 El Dorada/ Rio Bravo

The special one about these two classic films is that they both star the same main gunslinger: John Wayne.
