Channing Tatum stars in Roofman, a stranger-than-fiction crime drama about Jeffrey Manchester, an ex-Army Ranger whose life spirals into notoriety through a series of audacious rooftop burglaries. His chosen method — breaking into fast food chains by cutting through ceilings — earns him both a nickname and a place in the annals of bizarre criminal lore.
After being imprisoned, Manchester stages a daring escape and vanishes into the shell of an abandoned Toys “R” Us, where he secretly lives for months. This liminal existence — half survivalist, half fugitive fantasy — forms the core of the story. It’s here that Jeff crosses paths with Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a single mother who sees in him more than just a criminal, sparking a fragile romance that offers a glimpse of redemption.Roofman blends crime, comedy, and pathos, interrogating how desperation warps morality and how love can complicate even the most reckless choices. By humanising a man who became a tabloid curiosity, the film examines what drives someone to the margins and whether they can ever truly return.
