Plot Summary
Based on the Academy Award®-winning documentary, KON TIKI is the story of legendary Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. In 1947, he and five other men crossed the Pacific Ocean in a balsa wood raft, proving that pre-Columbian South Americans could have crossed the sea and settled the Polynesian islands. After financing the trip through loans and donations, they set off on this epic 101-day journey across 4,300 miles of dangerous open water, as the world watched.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The men are handsome, the sea is pretty and if the sharks look as rubbery as last week's chicken, at least they add some drama - and buckets of sloshing blood and guts - to what otherwise proves a dull affair.
Fresh: "Kon-Tiki" is a ripping yarn torn from yesterday's headlines.
Fresh: A rousing and thoroughly enjoyable Old Hollywood-style adventure.
Fresh: "Kon-Tiki" is stalwart and uplifting and there are passing moments of wonder.
