This has of course happened in films 
but has it happened in reality?
For example I spoke to an A320 pilot who said one could definitely land one at Shoreham EGKA
Ryanair SOP, no?
Shoreham’s landing fees are too high for Ryanair…..
Ryanair SOP, no?
Not quite, doesn’t it need to change its name to ‘Edinburgh Suburburban International’ before Ryanair would fly there

Does that work?
Yes, I’m bored at Mainz waiting for europaxs, who got delayed due to TSRA on departure….
There’s been at least one Boeing 737 that has landed on an unprepared grass surface (a levee, IIRC) and taken off from there again. I think it had suffered a double engine failure after hail ingestion (that’s why it landed there in the first place).
A few come to my home field (LFDH) as there is a company that fits them out for the luxury market. The runway was lengthened specially, but I have heard that the pilots are not comfortable using it. This 757 must have flown in and flown out.

There’s also a longer version of the same landing here:
Happens quite regularly at EGBP Kemble, as there is an aircraft destruction facility there, so old airliners come there to die. For example:
747 last year:
