Some people have to learn the hard way
When a Norwegian explorer sets out to prove that the South Pacific islands were populated from Peru, he does it the hard way. Gathering a team of fellow adventurers, Thor Heyerdahl builds and sails a really large raft 5000 miles across the Pacific Ocean. I love stories of heroism and success in the face of great odds. The fact that this story is actually true makes this film all the more amazing. The very palpable tension in this film do stem from the great writing and filmmaking, but knowing that this actually happened to a group of real men makes it even more powerful. The filmmakers and cast captured the tense moments so well.
