Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
The Shawshank Redemption was released in the same year as Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction, and Ace Ventura.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Two of these three check out: Pulp Fiction and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective did come out in 1994, same as The Shawshank Redemption. But Jurassic Park hit theaters in June 1993, a full year earlier, so it doesn't belong in that group.
