Audaciously taking a dare to prove his theory that South Americans could have reached Polynesia in the pre-Columbian era, Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl (Pal Sverre Hagen) assembled a small crew--and a balsa raft--for the 4,300 mile journey in 1947, as recounted in his best-selling memoir. Effective dramatization of one of the great true-life adventure sagas co-stars Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Tobias Santelmann, Gustaf Skarsgard. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Norwegian; Subtitles: English, Spanish. In Norwegian with English subtitles.
