There are two famous cases of airliners losing all their controls (i.e. the whole caboodle) after total hydraulics failure.
One was a JAL 747. It eventually crashed, with massive loss of life, the other was American (sorry, I forget the airline), which made a landing, of sorts, at Sioux City. Each case showed incredible skill on the part of the crew to keep the aircraft flying as long as they did, using engines only.
