There are several "Easter egg" references to Robert Redford's earlier films, including the opening legend, which is nearly identical to the one that opens Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) ("Not that it matters, but most of what follows is true") and the scene between Redford and Casey Affleck, where Affleck runs a finger over the side of his nose, which was the signal in The Sting (1973) between the con men that they were fellow-travelers.
