This inspiring true story shows the courage of a group of young men determined to prove to the world that not all legends are wrong. Filled with action, drama, hardships and shark attacks this is a fantastic tale of men pitted against the sea.
After hearing a Polynesian legend of how the pacific islands were populated, biologist Thor Heyerdahl abandons his study of Naturalism and begins to explore the possibilities of the legend. He suspects that the South Sea Islanders are descended from an ancient race of people from South America, who, led by the hero Kon-Tiki, migrated to Polynesia on balsa rafts.
But when his hypothesis is rejected, Heyerdahl sets out to prove his theory by making the journey himself. With a group of five friends, he builds a balsa log raft in Peru and set sail, letting the winds and currents carry them. Alone on the sea, amidst storms and sea life, will they be able to survive long enough to find out if Heyerdahl was right or wrong?
