Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific Ocean on a balsawood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the ocean and settled on Polynesian islands. After financing the trip with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101-day-long trip across 5,000 miles, while the world was waiting for the result. The film tells about the origin of the idea, the preparations and the events on the trip.
