Inventory, writer, businessman, scientist, diplomat, and the face gracing the hundred dollar bill-this stately figure is the Benjamin Franklin history has taught us to remember. Now, in this revealing presentation from The History Channel, the real man behind the myth is finally brought to light.

By his own admission, the man who helped write the Declaration of Independence and tamed lightning was far from perfect. A self-promoter, and occasionally ruthless competitor, this Founding Father never made a penny from his achievements and was more comfortable speaking in front of the British Parliament than he was with his own family. Narrated in an engaging, controversial tone by Edward Herrmann (Intolerable Cruelty, The Practice), Ben Franklin features in-depth interviews with renowned biographers and historians, as well as reenactments shot on location in Philadelphia-a truly remarkable virtual "walk" in Franklin's footsteps.
