B777 Autoland from Cruize Altitude?

Just wondering.
How (if) would you programme a 777 to complete an autoland on destination airport from cruising altitude without any, or minimum, pilot intervention.
Of course keep the flaps and gear aside. But just talking about the FMS and MCP settings.
I mean, what would it do if the approach was in the box and say it was an ILS approach. And then you set the final approach altitude on the MCP and left it at that.
Just a nagging query. I always wonder.
