Storbyer verden over plages af monstrøse kaiju-uhyrer, der vader op af havet og smadrer alt.

Februar 1945. Selv om sejren i Europa er tæt på, fortsætter krigen i Stillehavet. Ét af de mest blodige slag i krigen blev kampen om øen Iwo Jima, der kulminerede i det der for eftertiden blev det mest kendte krigsbillede i historien: Fem marinesoldater og en sygepasser, der sammen hjælpes ad med at hejse det amerikanske flag på Mount Suribachi. Det inspirerende foto blev et symbol på sejr for nationen, og de seks amerikanske mænd blev med det samme helte. Nogle af dem døde hurtigt efter flaget blev hejst, og nåede dermed aldrig at opfatte, at de var blevet udødeliggjorte af billedet. Men ingen af de overlevende mænd, der rejste flaget, var interesserede i at blive symboler eller helte. De ville bare kæmpe sammen med deres kammerater – de soldater, der kæmpede og døde uden fanfare eller hæder.

For at bevise teorien bygger han en flåde på gammeldags manér, så han kan gøre peruvianerne den 8000 km lange tur efter. Sammen med fem venner og en papegøje stævner Heyerdahl ud på en eventyrlig færd, hvor uvejr, hajer og nagende tvivl plager den lille besætning.

Da en vold­som bøl­ge ven­der bun­den i vej­ret på bå­den, en­der den lil­le be­sæt­ning uden mad, vand og funk­tions­dyg­tigt ma­ski­nel. Der iværk­sæt­tes en ef­ter­søg­ning inde fra land, men kan be­sæt­nin­gen over­le­ve fa­rer­ne på det åbne hav - og hin­an­den - læn­ge nok?
