A record-breaking historical adventure epic gets cast adrift on streaming

There’s no better way for a film or its creators to set out their stall than to go ahead and set a myriad of impressive records, something that 2012’s epic historical throwback Kon-Tiki managed to accomplish before, during, and after its release.

The most expensive production in the history of Norwegian cinema at the time, the sweeping tale of the legendary 1947 expedition became the country’s top-grossing release of 2012, and landed nominations for Best Foreign Language Film at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, the first time a feature from Norway had achieved both.
