'Kon-Tiki'

This is interesting. I read Thor Heyerdahl's book when I was in elementary school.

A review from Kenneth Turan, at the Los Angeles Times, "Review: 'Kon-Tiki' a tale retold of determined seafarers":

Based on the 1947 book of the same name, six men attempt to cross the ocean on a raft to prove Polynesians originated in pre-Inca Peru centuries ago. Thor Heyerdahl was the fearless leader, and this film captures the journey and the man in thrilling detail.
