English - The Hero's Journey

You will need to complete this table to show how a section of the films fits into each stage of the ‘Hero Cycle.’ You will need to show that you have an in-depth understanding of the cycle and be able to clearly explain your reasoning with supporting evidence from the film.
I am looking for full sentences, detailed descriptions and your best effort.

The Hero Cycle Stages
What does this stage involve?
Explain (in detail) which part of the film fits into each stage and how - this will need to be a paragraph for each.

Tests, Allies and Enemies

In Hunt for the Wilderpeople, the stage Tests, Allies and Enemies, can be identified as several of the challenges that Ricky and Uncle Hec face, including several enemies and allies that they meet along the way.
One test that Uncle Hec and Ricky face together is when they meet the trampers in the hut. The trampers believe that Hec has kidnapped Ricky and a fight breaks out between them. These people are also classed as their enemies, along with the two police officers who are hunting them.
Allies, or friends, that Ricky and Uncle Hec make are the girl and her father that Ricky stays with and Psycho Sam who offers them a place to sleep and the use of his car.
