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!

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)?
