The film used a replica of the original Kon-Tiki raft built to closely match the historical design, rather than the original raft itself.
Some of the actors performed scenes on the raft in open water, but professional stunt performers were also involved for the more dangerous sequences.
Yes, the film is based on the real 1947 expedition led by Thor Heyerdahl attempting to cross the Pacific on a balsa wood raft.
The expedition challenged prevailing views on Polynesian settlement by proposing that South Americans could have reached the islands before Europeans.
