The interaction of an electron with two electromagnetic waves propagating in an isotropic plasma is studied. It is shown, by numerical calculations, that the electron behaves stochastically, above a given threshold of the wave field amplitudes. The numerical threshold is compared with those given by analytical criteria. The results might be relevant to the laser-plasma interaction problem.
