Can anyone help with a Sci-Fi movie title?

What is the movie? Two pilots land on a planet, inhabited by people who look human. It turns out the society is dystopian.

The men are weighed and one of the men is taken away because he is “overweight”. The movie also shows a lottery game. Anyone whose number comes up on a big public screen is hunted by the civilian population. It shows one family watching the game on TV. The son’s number comes up. The dad yells something like “Run, son! Run!” He is chased by people with baseball bats.

Eventually, the main character manages to escape the planet on a spacecraft.

Thank you!

When and where did you see it? Is It American, European or Asian? Any more detail that you can recall? Anything mattters, even the smallest thing. And nothing is spoiler here, since we can remember the movie, most of the time because of it.

Thanks for replying. I think the movie is pre 2000. I think it is American, maybe British. Not Asian. It may have been a made for TV movie. I saw it a long time ago. Both of the 2 who landed on the planet were men. I am trying to remember something more, some more scenes ...

I have not seen this one and I do not think it is a perfect match, but there are similarities:
“The Stranger” (1973) (TV Movie)?

Unfortunately this is not the one :(

Yeah, in the meantime I found a detailed plot description on the Wikipedia page of the movie and after reading it I also came to the conclusion that this is not the movie you are looking for, many plot elements you mention in your question are missing from the Wikipedia plot description. I will keep looking.

Thanks, I will check it out.

Yes. that’s the one! “Tempting Fate (1998)”

Thx everyone

Tempting Fate [1998]?

Hey, pori, based on that info in that Reddit post, this should be the movie. But it is no wonder that I could not find it, because the synopsis and keywords on IMDb have basically nothing to do with the description in the question. Based on the IMDb info, there is no way that one can find this movie. Good job, it is a great find! :)
