Are you sure you were watching a TV movie? Your description sounds very much like the TV series called "The Prisoner" starring "Secret Agent Man" - Patrick McGoohan. The show was fun to watch with it's great island scenery, human chess games, and big pink/red balloon chasing people on the beach - but you never really knew what was going on! And I don't think they ever bothered trying to explain the show to the viewers anyway! You can still watch it on some channels, I think there are 19? episodes.

You can rent many episodes of "The Prisoner" at video stores. I've also seen a couple of mail order video catalogs which sell copies of the show.
