[Thor] Yes.

"The Faa-hoka is the Marquesan
variety of pineapple.

It was found in abundance
by the first European explorers."

[Sighs]

So, how long are you in New York?

Leaving in a few days.

Going home for Christmas.

My name is Heyerdahl.

- Thor Heyerdahl.
- Yes, you already said that.

[footsteps approaching]

[man clears throat] The wise men
of anthropology are quite clear

that Polynesia was not
populated from the east.

Wise men are not always right, sir.

Look around you. Every book in here
offers some theory or another.

Most written by one man,
read by perhaps only ten,

of whom nine disagreed
with the theory.

But my theory provides evidence

that Polynesia was settled
from the east.

I've spent ten years writing
and researching my thesis.

I lived on Fatu Hiva, professor.
I lived my theory.

What number am I?

How many publishers
have you seen before me?

I know you've been
to Barbeau and Benedict.

I presume Mead and Hill too.

All scientists assume the world
is waiting to hear from them.

The fact that I'm your last hope
ought to tell you something.

Yes, that scientific publishing
is completely closed to new ideas.

It tells me that when you
ignore evidence, nothing...

Listen to me.

You claim that the Peruvian
pre-Incan civilization

was remarkable, I agree.

And that the prevailing
winds and currents

in the Pacific down there move
from east to west.

But it is also the case that Tiki
could not have traveled to Polynesia

- because his people had no boats!
- No.

But they had rafts.

They had balsa wood rafts.

[chuckles]

Rafts.

Now that would be evidence.

You want your theory to be accepted?
You want to be right?

Then, go ahead.

Drift from Peru to Polynesia
on a balsa wood raft.

Good luck.

[buzzer sounds]

[woman speaking over intercom] Mr.
Brownberg's here to see you, professor.

[Thor] Gentlemen.

Your magazine will be with me on a raft

at the mercy of the winds,
all the way to Polynesia.

It's further than
from Chicago to Moscow.

Here to here, 5,000 miles.

You'll have some sort of engine
in case of emergency?

No, absolutely not.
We will surrender to the current

and the Wind, like Tiki did.

And by undertaking this extraordinary
voyage, you are proving...?

That the oceans were not barriers,
but roads.

Not impediments, but pathways.

I will prove that South American people

sailed to Polynesia 1,500 years ago.

Every schoolboy knows that Polynesia
was peopled from Asia,

not South America.

And it's my job as a scientist
to prove the schoolboys,

and those who quote them, wrong.

Ancient man, being sun worshipers...

[man] Mr. Heyerdahl.

Doubtless, the story of Norwegians
drowning in the Pacific will sell

a lot of magazines, but not this one.

This is a scientific expedition...

Our magazine has a higher purpose
than to finance

and enable men bent on suicide.

[man] I doubt you'll have any success
in recruiting anyone for such a voyage.

- [creaking]
- [clock ticking]

[wind whistling]

[soft groan]

- [jazz plays]
- [Thor] A dozen logs or so.

Big balsa wood logs.

We're, uh, five crew.
All very capable, of course.

The mast, the rudder...

There you go.
The Kon-Tiki.

I spent 22 days on a raft. Torpedoed.
North Atlantic, winter of '43.

You can't sail it, steer it.

All you can do is sit there
and wait to die.

- No, no, no.
- These logs, they are gonna

move against each other in the waves

and eventually they're gonna
break the lashings.

And you'll each be sitting on a log
floating your separate ways

at the mercy of the elements.

Thank you for your time.

[indistinct chatter]

[Thor]

- Mr. Heyerdahl, may I help you?
- We have an appointment.

Mr. Heyerdahl,
you are not on the list.

Look under his name.
Watzinger. W.

[men chattering indistinctly]

Just following my instincts...

We damn near died
when the zipper froze.

[laughter]

Mr. Heyerdahl, you are
not allowed in here.

Well! My friend from Fatu Hiva!

You look like a man who just got
dumped by a glossy magazine!

[laughter]

[laughs] Thank you.

Don't worry, Heyerdahl.

Scientific committees, my ass.

- Am I right, McGregor? Or am I right?
- Always. Of course.

Frostbite, the winter of '24.

It taught me one thing: do as the
natives do, down to the smallest detail.

Don't use nails if they use rope,

don't use steel if they use bone.

It took their ancestors
a thousand years to learn.

Go with them, and you just
might hang on to your leg.

[laughter]

[laughter]

[Thor] Whoo!

[laughter]

[Thor chuckles]

I'd like to change
my ticket to Oslo, please.

- Certainly, sir.
- I want two tickets to Lima, Peru.

- And when would you like to travel?
- [Herman] What's the soonest?

One moment, please.

Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow then.
- Certainly, sir.

Yes, just one moment, please.
Thank you.

Senor Heyerdahl,
if you have a minute.

Senor, nice to see you.

I must say, delicious
breakfast this morning.

[speaking foreign language]

- About the bill...
- I know.

Still waiting for the money.

American dollars are hard
to transfer these days.

- But it's been three weeks.
- I know.

- I can't...
- I know.

Just a few more days.
Thank you.

Thank you.

[shouts in foreign language]

Your Excellency, thank you
for seeing me at such...

Your Excellency, thank you for...

[door opens, closes]

Senor Heyerdahl?

Just a glass of water, please.
Thank you.

Monsieur Bustamante.

Your Excellency,
thank you for seeing me...

So, uh, what can I do for you?

Actually I'm here to tell you
about something I can do for you.

And what might that be?

By crossing the Pacific
for 5,000 miles,

I will prove that Peruvians
were the first to settle Polynesia.

Ah.

Peruvians discovered Polynesia.

And how may I help you?

[Thor]

[Herman]

[laughs]

[man] ...thermometers, battle rations,
powdered soups, floating knives,

desalination tablets, dinghies, fishing
tackle, canned food, shark repellant...

- Does it work?
- What?

- The shark repellent?
- That's what we want you to find out.

To: Royal Norwegian Embassy,
Washington, D.C.

From: Thor Heyerdahl, Kon-Tiki,
May 17th, 1947.

Fifty-eight seconds south,
zero-niner seconds west.

The raft is keeping up well.

We are on our way, and morale is high.

Having had problems
with the radio,

we have been unable
to establish contact.

Wind conditions are stable and we
are traveling an average speed...

[Thor] On course and shipshape,
we have now passed the critical point.

- [beeping]
- And spirits are high.

Every nautical mile
is a nautical mile

closer to the proof
I have sought.

Early man did not see
the oceans as a barrier,

but rather as a means
of communication.

This is science that cannot
be done behind a desk

or by a committee.

That a 1, 500-year-old
civilization,

possessed the maritime
and the navigational skills

to successfully maneuver
a balsa wood raft

over 5, 000 miles.

We are using the same stars
as they did.

Hey!

[laughter]

Woo-hoo-hoo!

[chuckling]

- Approaching Raroia reef.

If no word within 36 hours,
