The multilayer film has excellent three-dimensional overlaying formability and adhesiveness after being formed; can easily be used when being bonded to an adherend; maintains adhesive strength. Specifically, the multilayer film has: an adhesive layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer composition containing a thermoplastic elastomer (A) which is a block copolymer or a hydrogenated product thereof having a polymer block (a1) containing aromatic vinyl compound units and having a polymer block (a2) containing conjugated diene compound units; and a base layer comprising an amorphous resin which has a modulus of elasticity of 2 to 600 MPa at an arbitrary temperature of 110 to 160° C. The tensile elongation at break of the multilayer film at a temperature 5° C. lower than the glass transition temperature of the amorphous resin is at least 160%.
