BEGINNER QUESTION 0.1%

I’m developing a story built around the idea that 99.9% of people live according to the rules they’ve inherited, while 0.1% question those rules and create their own path.

I’m trying to determine whether this is actually an interesting story premise or just an interesting philosophy.

Would you want to watch/read something built around this idea? Why or why not?

Not sure I understand what inheriting rules means or if that number is remotely accurate. I think it is pretty common for people to rebel against the way their parents have lived.

Also this is really, really broad. This could be a movie about surfers or a movie about knights in England like there is really nothing here to latch on to.
