There is no special name for this format of story. All stories have the same basic elements, (exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, resolution) and they pertain to the protagonist, who is the main character and who the audience is supposed to identify with the most.

The protagonist is the "hero" of their story, but they do not have to be the "good guy" per se. When in this role, they are often called the antihero. Examples are Now You See Me, the Fast and Furious series, and others where the protagonist is the "bad guy".
