In Cleaner, Daisy Ridley plays Joey Locke, a former British Army soldier turned high-rise window cleaner in London's Canary Wharf. She is protective of her autistic brother, Michael, and becomes the center of action when eco-terrorists take over the skyscraper at a corporate black-tie event. Drawing on her army training and climbing skills, Joey climbs the outside of the building to outsmart the terrorists and rescue the hostages.

Ridley is most known for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Some of her established works include Murder on the Orient Express, Peter Rabbit, Ophelia, and Chaos Walking. She has also voiced a character in the mystery video game Twelve Minutes.

Noah, Taz Skylar, is Joey's fake co-worker until he reveals himself as a ruthless extremist member of the Earth Revolution. Noah rejects the group's scheme to expose him and goes on a rampage, killing hostages and turning on his comrades. This leaves Joey in a lethal confrontation far over the city.

Skylar is an Olivier Award-nominated actor, writer, and producer who rose to fame after his West End play. He went on to write and star in Gassed Up. He also portrayed Sanji in Netflix's One Piece series. His other acting projects include the short films Split Sole, Final Gift, and Multi-Facial.

Clive Owen's Marcus spearheads the Earth Revolution, motivated by a cause to uncover corporate corruption by means of strategic disruption, rather than senseless bloodshed. However, his leadership collapses, as Noah's violence imperils all their lives, triggering a power struggle that heightens tension within the under-siege tower.

Owen is an established British actor who gained fame for his role in the crime drama series Chancer. He has won a range of accolades for his acting projects, including a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award, and nominations for an Academy Award and Primetime Emmy Award. His acting projects include Sin City, Hemingway & Gellhorn, and Monsieur Spade.
