Based on the real experience of the famous Norwegian explorer Sol Haierdahl, the film tells the legendary adventure of rafting across the Pacific Ocean with five friends in 1947. Norway's most invested ($18.5 million) film to date, based on real events, tells the story of six explorers crossing the Pacific Ocean on a crude raft. Perswell Waheim Hagen, the actor of Water disaster, plays the famous Norwegian explorer Sol Herdahl. In 1947, Saul Heyerdahl and five friends traveled on a raft from Peru in South America to Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean for 101 days and 4900 miles, creating a miracle in the history of human navigation. By doing so, he wanted to prove that Peruvians in ancient times 1400 years ago settled in Polynesia by crossing the Pacific Ocean on this crude raft. Haierdahl wrote the painstaking resume into a book, which was translated into more than 60 languages around the world, and his documentary won an Oscar for best documentary in 1952. He is also known as "the most famous Norwegian in the world." However, at the beginning of the story, his idea was laughed at by everyone.
