The future... and the world's population live out a carefully planned life designed for them by the strictly ordered society that governs the globe. Failure to conform in any way is treated as a crime, punishable by a term of rehabilitation in a 'Modification Centre'. These misfits are known as 'Turkeys'. During the centre's 'cleansing' process they ore collectively decontaminated, numbered and tranquilised in preparation for removal to their new home - here, surveillance systems and sadistic, heavily armed guards monitor them - there is little chance of escape and failed attempts lead to torture by the malevolent guards. The ultimate atrocity is the 'Turkey Shoot', a manhunt in which the wealthy and influential find sport in tracking and killing the unfortunate inmates.

Dreadful - Turkey Shoot review by MD
Dated, childish, predictable... shall I continue... it seems much older than 1981, stereotypical characters, limited cast, just bad bad bad.
