That's an actual system dating back to the 50s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery...

You're thinking of the TDK opening scene, where the fulton system is used.

The TDKR opening scene involves a in-air "capturing" of an airplane flying at low altitude by another plane, with the help of some daring abseiling between the planes.
