Angel Studios releases 'Young Washington' on July 3, 2026, offering a glimpse into the formative years of America's first president. Director Jon Erwin focuses on George Washington in his twenties, specifically around 1755, a decade before the Declaration of Independence.
The narrative centers on Washington's early military experiences and his involvement in the French and Indian War. Prior to this, a frustrated young George, after his father's death, is tasked with managing the family's Mount Vernon farm instead of pursuing his dream of becoming a British Officer.
His ambition leads him to join the British Army at age 23, seeking to impress influential figures like Lord Fairfax and Governor Robert Dinwiddie. The film highlights his participation in battles like Fort Necessity and Fort Duquense, with cinematographer Kristopher Kimlin capturing these sequences realistically.
William Franklyn-Miller portrays the young Washington, embodying a more action-oriented persona than previous depictions. The film, rated PG-13 with a running time of 2 hours and 5 minutes, aims to fill a patriotic niche for the July 4th weekend.
