Even at the age of 70, Franklin’s enthusiasm for life remains undimmed.

“Franklin” features an impressive cast including Noah Jupe as Temple, Benjamin Franklin’s grandson, alongside Thibault de Montalembert, Ludivine Sagnier, Eddie Marsan, and Theodore Pellerin as Marquis de Lafayette (admit it, you sang it in your head too).
