Paramount Pictures has unveiled the final trailer for ‘Roofman,’ the astonishing true crime drama starring Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines), the film brings to life the unbelievable true story of Jeffrey Manchester — a man whose daring heists and double life made headlines across America.
Based on real events, ‘Roofman’ follows Jeffrey Manchester (Tatum), a former Army Ranger and devoted father, whose life spirals out of control after hardship pushes him toward an extraordinary life of crime. Using his tactical skills, Manchester begins robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting through their roofs — earning the infamous nickname “Roofman.”
But the story takes an even more unbelievable turn when Manchester escapes from prison and secretly takes up residence inside a Toys “R” Us, where he lives undetected for six months — sneaking out at night, rationing supplies, and plotting his next move.
When he meets Leigh (Dunst), a divorced mother drawn to his charisma, Jeffrey’s secret existence begins to crumble, leading to a tense, emotional cat-and-mouse game as law enforcement — and his own past — close in.
‘Roofman’ boasts an ensemble cast including Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang, and Peter Dinklage.
