Thor Heyerdahl wants to cross the Pacific on a balsa wood raft in Kon-Tiki
Official Kon-Tiki trailer, by directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg.
Thor Heyerdahl (Pal Sverre Hagen): By crossing the Pacific for 5000 miles, I will prove that Peruvians were the first to settle on Polynesia. It's further than from Chicago to Moscow.
Look around you. Every book around here offers some theory or another.
Mister Heyerdahl. Dark is the story of Norwegians drowning in the Pacific, will sell a lot of magazines. But not this one.
Do you want your theory to be accepted? Then go ahead, drift from Peru to Polynesia on a balsa wood raft.
There will be no one to safe us out there.
Except your theory.
The ropes held 1500 years ago. And they will hold now.
Please, feel the raft.
It looks worse than it is.
Have faith.
No one shares your believe in Tiki!
This is bigger than us.
