Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kon-Tiki is a 2012 film directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.It is a dramatization of Thor Heyerdahl's Real Life voyage aboard the wooden raft Kon-Tiki in 1947. Heyerdahl is an explorer and ethnographer who, with his wife Viv, had spent time on the island of Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas in the 1930s. Heyerdahl and Viv settle down and have two sons, but he continues to have the itch for adventure.He also has a theory. While contemporary theory held that the islands of the South Pacific were settled over the centuries by people traveling east from the Asian mainland, Heyerdahl believes that the islands of the southeast Pacific were settled by people traveling west from the South American mainland, using prevailing ocean currents. Heyerdahl sets out to prove it by making a journey in a balsa wood raft similar to what would have been available to South American natives 1,500 years earlier. After recruiting four fellow Scandinavians to make the journey with him, Heyerdahl sets off on a 5,000-mile journey on a raft across the open ocean.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })For Heyerdahl's own documentary of the voyage, see Kon-Tiki. In Real Life, while Heyerdahl proved the voyage was possible, further research and DNA analysis has only strengthened the hypothesis that the South Pacific was settled by people traveling east from Asia.

Bittersweet Ending: Heyerdahl triumphantly makes landfall in the islands of eastern Polynesia. But his wife, who becomes convinced that his wanderlust and urge to explore mean that he'll never be a husband and father, divorces him.
