On a remote South Pacific island, locals march in perfect formation wearing handmade US military uniforms, with "USA" painted on their chests and wooden rifles on their shoulders.

They've built bamboo control towers, straw planes, and simulated airstrips - all to summon a mysterious American named "John Frum" who they believe will return with magical cargo.

This is Tanna Island's cargo cult, born when World War II brought American troops with seemingly miraculous technology and endless supplies to people who had little contact with the outside world.

For over 80 years, these islanders have worshipped American military power, believing that ritual imitation of soldiers will bring back John Frum with his holy cargo of radios, jeeps, refrigerators, and Coca-Cola.

Discover how a bizarre misunderstanding created one of the world's youngest religions, why February 15th is their holy day, and how this strange faith has survived into the modern world - with followers still waiting faithfully for America's promised return.
