Roof Man - The Story of Jeffrey Allen Manchester

What do you get when you mix a polite McDonald's robber, a daring prison escape artist, and a guy who literally lived in a Toys "R" Us? Meet Jeffrey Manchester, aka "Roofman," the bandit with a bizarre streak of criminal genius. From dropping through restaurant ceilings to locking employees in freezers (politely, of course), to hiding out in a Circuit City furnished with Spider-Man sheets, this story only gets wilder. Add in a dental office arson, a congregation snitch, and a bouquet-bearing arrest — you've got a true crime tale that sounds too weird to be true. But it is. Join us as we break down Manchester's legendary heists, his under-the-radar suburban life, and Hollywood's upcoming adaptation (Roofman, starring Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, and Peter Dinklage). Don't miss this chaotic thrill ride from fast food to fugitive status!
