Roofman tells the incredible true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a U.S. Army Reserve non-commissioned officer who turns to crime after financial struggles. Nicknamed Roofman due to his rather unorthodox way of entering McDonald's by climbing through their roofs, Jeffrey's crimes were as bold as they were unorthodox.

After being arrested and sentenced to prison, he orchestrates a brazen escape by hiding under a prison bus and later finds sanctuary in the ceiling of a Toys R Us store.

Jeffrey constructs a secret life, literally and figuratively. He builds a little hideout at the back of the store walls, surviving on snacks and pilfered supplies as he observes the employees living their working lives.

Later on, he also falls in love with Leigh Wainscott, an employee and single mother who is played by Kirsten Dunst, and starts a double life, as a fugitive wanted by the law, and also as a dashing man in love. The movie goes into his moral paradoxes, his yearning for human connection, and the inescapable breakdown of his constructed world.

The cast of Roofman features Channing Tatum as the charismatic and empathetic Jeffrey Manchester. The film also features Kirsten Dunst as Leigh, a good-natured store clerk who falls for him without any idea of his secret. Ben Mendelsohn portrays Ron, a preacher who serves as the moral compass for Jeffrey's troubled life, while Peter Dinklage plays Mitch, the blunt store manager.

The rest of the cast comprises LaKeith Stanfield, Uzo Aduba, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Lily Collias, and Jimmy O. Yang, among others.
