Is it technically possible?

Have you seen that Stephen Spielberg movie "The Langoliers"?
The people are stranded at a deserted airport and there is only limited time to escape on a big airliner.. a good movie , but what i want to know is -

Suppose you have a private pilot licence for a Cessna 152 - that's all you have flown and can fly it well. Is it technically possible, if push came to shove, for you to fly a massive son of a gun airliner?

The principles of take off flight and landing must be the same. If anything i would think an airliner would be easy as the computers control most things.

What's the true position?
