Description
| The true story of Thor Heyerdahl’s legendary Kon-Tiki voyage is captured in this Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated film. In a dangerous sea-faring adventure, six men sail from Peru to Polynesia on a fragile balsa-wood raft, risking their lives for an idea that could change history. Led by Thor, a handsome captain who couldn’t swim, the crew have no modern equipment and only a parrot for company. Setting off under the spotlight of the world’s press, they navigate the vast Pacific using the stars with the currents as their rudder. Battling tidal waves, sharks and demons of the deep, it’s six men against nature as the Kon-Tiki strives to reach land. Having sacrificed everything for his mission, even his marriage, Thor must succeed. A sensation in its native Norway, becoming the highest-grossing Scandinavian film ever, ‘Kon-Tiki’ was shot in English in a dual version. The film’s stunning photography and astonishing visual effects helped directors Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg, friends from childhood, realise their dream of a Hollywood career. |
